more offensive frustration!!!

my biggest issue is when going into camp, dorrell was stressing the run soo much more then the passing game.  why are they wasting a talent like BO by putting him in game managment mode, but then expect him to convert 3rd and 10s and talk crap about how he cant make plays and execute when defense is looking pass.  they got it right with Utah by allowing him to pass early and often.  svoboda is saying "theres no room to pass the ball if they play good zone"  so why dont we give BO some options and open it up with a 4 or 5 receiver set?  i know thats outside the realm of the west coast offense and stubborn KD, but since KD already rotates so many receivers why dont throw all of them on the field and play to our strength. there isnt any team that deep as us at receiver or defense that could possbily handle that much speed.  having that much personel on the field can help with the blitzes because you have to someone back in coverage, help BO make some reads.  we need to stop relying so much on our running game because it does us no good when we're trying to dig ourselves out of hole.  nothing against markey or bell because they are good backs but they have no burst like drew did cause everytime i think there going to break one some defender manages to run them down.  and what happened to chane moline?  he can be like our mike alstott a complete change of pace back because hes big and more athletic then pitre. against Utah he broke off some big runs with the utes D stacking the line.  it just frustrates me and no doubt all of us that we seem to waste all this talent thats just standing there on the sideline.  crossing fingers for stanford because for some reason they always give us a hard time

perfect commentary
instead of running to set up the pass we should, as you said, try to pass to set up the run. also, we always leave talent like moline and terrence austin standing on the sideline. we do this even after they have proved themselves on the field (moline against utah, austin against udub) and it's beyond frustrating. dorrell is so predictable that when we do pass it's obvious to everyone and this gives BO almost no chance. these slim chances, however, are the only chances BO has been given since the rice game.
