We went under center like you wanted. We played Dak like you wanted. We scored 3 points. How are you going to not put this one on the offense and Mullen?

Uhhhhhh, I agree 100% it's on Mullen and the offense. I complained about last years offense.
I would like us to commit to Dak and run the football. We will not beat a decent team with Russell at QB throwing it 35 times/game
Agree coach. Our OL can't defend a 3 man front. Use Dak and Ralph it
Dak played half a quarter. With the way we started moving the ball when he came in, I think it's safe to say we would have put up a few more points if he'd played the whole game. Maybe even won, since our defense would have probably had more than six plays worth of rest in the third quarter.
This coming from a firm Russell supporter prior to this game.
We took a sack on a 3 man rush didn't you see it?
Dak couldn't do shit on short yardage. Nobody on our team could. We had a shitty 3rd down percentage because...wait for it.....we got in 3rd and short too often.
You don't need imagination. Just line up and ram it up their ass. That's tough to do out of the shotgun with that same bullshit play. The only one we converted it seemed was when Robinson took the handoff with a head of steam right up the middle. Hell, line up under center and sneak it! This dancing around 3 yards behind the line of scrimmage when you only need to get 1 ain't gonna cut it.
Guys the reason we lost this game is because of our offensive playcalling was horrendous! Dak still has things to work on. When we ran mid line he always gave it up to Perk & never actually read the MLB. On the one play we ran the option he didn't round it off. He went inside and had his head down. Had he pitched, we would've broke it. Go back & watch it. But these plays get better with game reps. Not practice reps the reason is because the defense isn't allowed to hit the QB. Dak needs contact to get into the flow. Our game plan was initially good. We lined to to run the ball. It worked, until they made adjustments (loading the box). Where was the HB screen when they blitzed? They dared us to throw the ball. Tyler looked flustered. He looked just like he did Vs UM & NW. Dak looked excited. Not flustered. The more reps he got the better he looked. The pick he threw wasn't his fault. Tyler's was. He threw to LdP late & off balance. The ways to fix this are simple, the question is this: Is Mullen willing to humble himself to do it. I think the answer is no, he won't. But I hope I am wrong.
C57, you are correct. Mullen will not change because he is a stubborn ass. Dak may not be the complete answer because he needs blocking from the OL too, but he can run. Something Tyler can't do. Unfortunately even if Dak does play more, we will still have the same coaches calling the plays.
