Week 7: Northern Arizona (2-4) @ UC Davis (1-4) Our 2 leading receivers are running backs (Lonzi and Lan).
I still believe this is the issue on offense- and the reason we aren’t winning ballgames.
QB needs to effectively get the ball downfield.
Hastings isn’t necessarily a running threat either. I’m not down on the guy, he is a great leader and effectively running the offense he is being given.
I think it’s been established that Tompkins ain’t gonna be asked to throw the ball downfield as a QB, and there must be a reason why Faulk has never been the starter.
The answer next year might be Dixon with his size, and presumably, arm strength.
With all of that said, I could be completely off-base and the issue could be inexperienced or ineffective WRs! I’ve noticed Babb hasn’t played much, and Chaz Davis looks great at times but seems like he’s got a short leash. I’ve always hoped we would target Castles more downfield- but maybe defenses are keying on him as he seems like our only downfield threat.
