I don’t think beating Utah by only 1 point was the result of being too nice

All of his other cases are true though. Kalani needs to go for the throat

Especially since a penalty was the only thing standing in the way of a ute win.

I think a significant portion of this is not having an offense that's capable of

They brought in tons of subs especially on d in those games.

Well, it's smart to rest defensive starters in games you've got well in hand.

The right strategy is to have an offense that can be effective for 4 quarters

So its all ARod's fault

I put the blame for not scoring points on the offense, yes.

Which games was that an issue? UCF?

Baylor as well
