The offense is gaining about as many yards as it was gaining last year. The problem has been turnovers, penalties, and field position (the defense cannot get off the field). The 1st 2 of those things are definitely on coaching. The third is a combo of personnel and coaching.
Can we stop with the Justin Fields Like Excuses for Bielema? This is the staff he picked. They need to do a far better job.
Turnovers are on the coaches? I’m inclined to believe the increased turnovers have more to do with the younger, more inexperienced players that physically touch the ball rather than the coaches standing on the sidelines. Coincidentally the same coaches that managed not to turn it over much last year. Guess they forgot how to coach against the turnovers!
The penalties I’ll give you, although there’s definitely an element of inexperience that comes into play there as well.
Yes the defense has really struggled at times after losing some really good players to the pros/injury. They’ve also had some really good stretches and then ultimately got worn down because the offense put them in terrible positions.
