Maybe the Offense just did not practice that much leading up to Sun Bowl ?  
Costello was slow and off the mark all day (6 of 17 for 105y -- his worst ever), and the run game didn't gel at all.  
The Defense did not need as much practice.  
And after Chryst went down in Q1 of Sun Bowl 2016, our offense with Burns was horrible also. 
Defensive scores won that game. 

Shaw still needs some new blood in the playbook on Offense.  
Go get Troy Walters (he setup the potent UCF Offense before exiting to NEBR with Scott Frost regime). 
UCF looked credible vs LSU in Fiesta yesterday, and beat AUBN last year.  
Sure, UCF doesn't play a tough schedule; but they aren't loaded with 4 and 5 star talent, either. 
As recent as 2015, they went 0-12, a doormat, like Stanford in 2006.  
Does Walters (Stanford '99; Biletnikoff Award) really want to toil in Lincoln another three years?

Actually I didn't think the run game was all that horrible, at least by this year's standards.
Another six yards and Scarlett would have hit 100.
The passing game did suck, no getting around that.
I think it was probably equal parts of the wind, two of our top three receivers being out, and Costello just having one of those days.
I don't think that bringing someone like Troy Walters in would necessarily be a bad idea, but since Shaw just ain't going to do it, I would think people would get tired of suggesting it.
