Why have we not had more than one designed QB run?


I especially thought once Bryson went out we would see some QB designed runs

It's 1 game but this a a prime example of why I still have/had concerns about Dave Aranda despite his win streak.
If he starts 0-2 next year…

Robertson has been in a boot when not in pads since the TCU game.

Dave will never be elite. He's shown zero growth. In fact he puckers even worse it seems now.

We've turned into aggie. We'll be 8-4 ish parking a little higher now and then

One of the few bright spots today… The pass blocking has been great. Sawyer is getting so much time.

Did you not see his 46-yard reception? Or the time(s) he toasted his man and Sawyer missed him.

Hey Bubba, things don't look very promising. We're gonna pull an aggy… didn't lose, we just ran out of time.
Lordy! We start 2025 out with another SEC castration and then, Holy Moly, WHERE is a W looking at SMU, AZ, AZ St, Utah… oh, maaaybe Houston. We gonna git'em!!'

Nobody really surprised. Poseur

The secondary has been the overall difference here. I know we spotted them 14 points. But I see the secondary as the big difference maker here causing this game to be what it is.

Well you were wrong about this season. Like I said, our win streak must've been real hard for you. Nothing to troll about. Bubba.
