Agree.

I chalk it up to the size of the playbook and giving the QB 2 sometimes three plays. JH had the same issue. It probably cost him a SB. (Not sure he still does. Haven’t followed Mich that closely)

Cut down the playbook and perhaps this becomes less of a problem. It is an issue that needs to be addressed.

On DOG penalties, Matt Squeri on TOS did an exhaustive review of every Pac 12 team.  The conclusions comport with what your eyes told you:  Stanford ran fewer plays than any other conference team and had more DOG penalties.  [And this analysis did not include the number of timeouts  taken to avoid DOG penalties].  It's a pretty obvious red flag of ineptitude on the O side of the ball . . . isn't it?  [There are few things more inept than not even being able to get a play called and run within the time allotted].

I think this is the slightly illogical outcome of depending on measurably smarter players to integrate and execute on sideline calls much more effectively and quickly than other players.  Sometimes it just doesn't happen.
