Here's my take on the offense's execution problems in the first half of the NIU game. Of the 36 plays run by the offense, 18 exhibited execution problems, 10 were positive runs, 4 were positive passes, and 4 were stopped by good defensive play. Here's a summary of the 18 execution problems:
| execution Problem | number of occurrences |
|---|---|
| Bad Throw | 4 |
| Bad Route | 3 |
| Missed Block | 3 |
| Bad Snap | 2 |
| Bad Run | 2 |
| Penalty | 2 |
| Bad Handoff | 1 |
| Dropped Snap | 1 |
These problems are spread across all five offensive units, but all are correctable. As the coaches address these issues, the perception of play calling should improve with better play execution. Hopefully, we will see significant improvement on Saturday. GO BUCKS!
