Offensive players and coaches take the blame


Posted at 4:42 pm by John Boyle

Lot's of offensive players and coaches spent time today talking to the media, and most were taking plenty of blame for Saturday's 44-10 loss to Oregon.

Offensive Tim Lappano said "I probably second-guess myself a little now," referring to the Huskies decision to run up the middle all night and not to the outside.

Offensive line coach Mike Denbrock said his line, the veteran unit of the offense, didn't get the job done, and said he was to blame.

"I didn't get my job done as a coach, first and foremost, of making sure those guys were on top of every little detail they needed to be on top of, and we didn't play all that great," he said.

Guard Jordan White-Frisbee agreed that his unit didn't get the job done.

"For every play, at least someone on the line messed up," he said. "We just weren’t all clicking together like we’ve been all fall throughout training camp. I don’t know man. We expected to dominate physically, and they dominated us scheme wise. They played smarter than we did."

Freshman tailback Chris Polk said that it wasn't all the line's fault however.

"There were holes, I just didn’t see them," he said. "Just getting too excited, not being patient. Guess it’s just a rookie mistake, but there were some holes to run through, I just missed them."

Overall, everyone we talked to agreed that the offense just needs to be better in just about every facet of the game. Running backs need to block better and hit holes harder, linemen need to block better, and the passing game needs to punish teams that stack the box against the run like Oregon did.

Lappano said he doesn't expect to see quite the same look from BYU, but admitted that other teams might try a similar strategy to what Oregon did until the Huskies prove they can beat it.
