If you watch the first half..

after Chad Morris confirmed what some of the other coaches had said already..

Most of the sacks were Boyd's fault. It was some sort of zone blocking scheme and the ball was supposed to come out quick to the hot route receiver. Looks like the defenders come through quickly and the OL is terrible. But the reality is the defenders were supposed to come through quickly because the ball was supposed to already be gone. Morris and others said the hot routes were open and he was just hesitant to get rid of the ball. Its too late at that point he has no choice but to take off, with no blockers. Pretty much a guaranteed sack.

Obviously there are going to be allot of timing plays in this offense. He never got a chance to stretch the field with deep routes. Also in the second half, adjustments were made in the form of simpler plays. Allot of simplified underneath passes that did not require him to make a play quickly. I think he can get better this week after watching film, seeing the receivers open and knowing what he did wrong. On the flip side, they were very pissed off that the OL could not get enough of a push to get 3 yards at the goal line.

You can find it on Youtube, but Bellamy had a 75 yard run on his first carry. He got chewed out by Morris (also on Youtube) for dropping the ball just as he went across the goal line. You will not see it on the ESPN replay because they went to the NC State game for a few seconds. The video is from a fan.

But as Morris said, the simplified offense that they ran in the second half will likely not be very effective against better opponents.

We have really not yet seen what this offense is supposed to look like.
