Is it just me or does it look like Washington is really tentative running the ball?

Well...the way this game is going if BU defense doesn't somehow hold them to a FG or less we won't be able to catch up

Spavital ain't all that either folks. The design of his offenses are decent, but his play calling is pretty bad

You can set your clock by how predictable his play calls are.

We keep running the same play on short yardage. The TE or WR outside comes back across the backfield, then blocks down in the middle. The D knows EXACTLY where the play is going

He's too predictable with his runs. And if Sawyer isn't going to pull any of these than there's zero sense in calling them.

zero creativity in play calling in short yardage situation...in just two games poor play calling has cost us several TDs and first downs...

The third-down call was stupid, too. Run on third down.

Or better yet, get the **** under center and sneak it for the first.
