Disappointing loss in the opener to Utah. They are going to have to trust in Sunseri a little more and take the reins off of him in order to keep defenses honest, especially around the red zone. If everyone knows that Lewis is going to keep getting the ball down there, then we’re going to be seeing lots of field goal attempts. The offense needs to be more creative and loosen things up. The QB sneak on 4th and 1 was scary. Since everybody was expecting a conservative call there (and got it), taking advantage of the element of surprise perhaps with a play action rollout or something similar could have resulted in six points. Granted, they tried the rollout on the first play of OT with bad results, but Utah was probably in a better defense to defend it then, as opposed to a 4th and 1 situation. Just suggesting that they shouldn’t be afraid to be a little daring, especially early in the year so that teams down the road have more to think about.

  Agreed! I hope this QB shakes this off and they put this behind him! Bad way to start though!
