Neither does passing the ball too often. It is a very interesting take that Enos is supposedly running a grinding ball control time of possession offense for Diaz when this team is horrific on third downs and horrific running the ball.
Supposedly Enos is running an offense that protects the defense by being 50th in pass attempts, 117th in rushing attempts, 70th in time of possession, 114th in yards per carry, and 130th on 3rd down by design.
I would think after a while Diaz and Enos might say "hey, maybe we should try something else to protect the defense".
I'd rather have an offense that controls tempo than what UCF runs. You can have up tempo as the situation dictates. I just would not want to see it full time because it does impact your defense, especially if you don't have the depth. I would like to see Enos switch the tempo up and employ some no-huddle on occasion. That has been one of the more disappointing aspects of the offense (among others) is that there does not seem to be any sense of urgency even when we need it.
