But they look very feast or famine. If you can stop the big play and use themselves against themselves for lack of a better phrase, you can dominate them. Boise laid the blueprint and at times used OM's over aggression and lack of discipline/assignment against them for big plays. Read option pass, reverse pass, some misdirection, few screens, and utilized the middle of the field. A good team that had bigger and faster talent would have waxed OM last night.
If I'm OM I'm concerned. Gave up 400 yards on 88 plays to Boise. Couldn't rush for 100 yards and in fact got out rushed. Used 3 different QBs in short yardage situations and saw Bo Wallace take some pretty decent shots from a Mountain West defense. Had 811 false starts, got beat multiple times in the secondary, and at times had tiny Boise running up the middle on them on first down successfully. They gave up 28 first downs and lost the TOP battle by 12 minutes.
Against teams from the SEC that are far superior to Boise, something even remotely close to what OM did last night will get them run out of a stadium.
