And why not run #5 in the wildcat? Can't hurt. Teach him to run the option with #3 and #2. Since FH rarely throws the ball, this would open up their running plays to more than pound-it-up-the-middle. When your playing against a team with so much beef on the line, running the dive play over and over is just going to wear out our smaller, less experienced line faster. And, dace it, our line was getting blown off the ball.
And, what happened to the quick toss to #5. Why not try some WR screens top open the middle a little. #2 is more than capable of making people miss.
I, too, think this team was better than FH. However, unlike the Dunbar game, this one was winnable. With the turnovers, especially the pound-it up the middle deep in their own territory when BW was stuffing it all night, they allowed momentum to switch and for BW to play a little less predictably.
I figured if FH was going to keep up with this team it would have to be in the first half. With BWs ability to sub, they were fresh on most plays. They had FH's defense running all over the field. It really showed in the second half.
Finally, BW is well coached and has an extremely talented QB who made good decisions. Again, a winnable game with a much better game plane.
Go ahead, call me a armchair QB. It's what I am, but at least I have some common sense. You have to adapt your playbook to the players you have. We just don't do that well.
