I thought Brown was an offense guru?

We had 9 offensive players out due to injuries/suspensions.

Brown blames we have to do better coaching on offense but that can’t be overlooked either

Would have loved to have seen this offense last week.

One thing Troy did that I've never seen out of a Neil Brown team is start to run clock in the 2nd half. Normally Troy works fast, they started taking the air out of the ball late in the 3rd quarter. I was kind of shocked to see it honestly.

It was probably the right call though. Neither offense could move the ball.

Did a pretty damn good job of draining clock against us last week. They were milking every bit of the play clock, especially in the 4th quarter.

I'm thinking you just noticed it more because of the situation this week.
