Yesterday's game was more than one loss early in the season, it was a glimpse of how the rest of the season could unfold. Coming off a dismal 3-9 season there were so many questions about the state of the team and sad to say, the team has regressed. But more importantly it has made me seriously question Chip Kelly as a coach. Blame for this loss lays clearly on the door step of our head coach.
Toss out that huge play in the first quarter, the play calls were unimaginative and predictable and the execution was reminiscent of a Chinese fire drill. Add to this was the question, why Kelly chose to showcase Felton when he had a stable of other RBs. I know that Josh Kelley was injured but what happened to Kaz Allen and why did Irby get only a hand full of plays? What happened to our TE's who were integral last season? What happened to our WRs, guys like Cota, Phillips, Ezeike? Cincinnati game plan was to stop the run and dare DTR to pass. Knowing this Chip Kelly made no attempt to make any half time adjustments,
This game also gave us a glimpse of our defense and special teams and IMO they both got F's. What happened to Coach Azz's dominant defense? No sacks, no rushes...the Cincinnati offense moved at will getting critical first downs when needed.
And now we're 0-1 going into our game against San Diego State. Frankly I have doubts that we can beat San Diego State let alone Oklahoma. Going 0-3 before the start of the Pac 12 season has become a stark reality. And that what losing yesterday meant
