To a certain extent I can live with the execution errors because they can largely be fixed during the week, they are still young men who will make mistakes, and if they continue then there's someone else waiting to take the job over. But I am frustrated because they happened with every group on offense - suggestive of poor coaching preparation, but not definitive - and the game was there for the taking with even decent execution.
What I can't live with is the reversion to a pedestrian gameplan without any halftime adjustments when it wasn't working (other than to put in suspended Rector and snap-limited Cajuste) and the several mismatched playcalls on third down. We were told that things would be different after the Utah game last year, and they were - for three games. These are professionals who are paid to not make mistakes of this scope and certainly not repeat them, and if they continue there's nothing that can really be done about it until the season is over.
