One thing that has always amazed me is how good coaches give players the confidence to make plays and how bad coaches have constant mistakes that kill their teams performance. I don't have an issue with Sheridan's play calling, but the one characteristic of his offense is constant mistakes. It's been that way since day 1 with him. Six drops, procedure calls, three interceptions, poorly thrown passes, bobbled snaps, a fumble, missing blocking assignments. His offense runs the whole gamut of mistakes you can make. An all conference quarterback who completed twenty passes in a row under Deboer suddenly can't throw the ball. This is not new. The game in which he got injured last year he could not it the broad side of a barn. It's not just the injuries. It's confidence. An all conference receiver suddenly can't catch the ball. It's confidence. As much as I'd like to blame Penix (and he's been terrible), I am afraid its just symptomatic of the greater issue of a coordinator who players underperform under because he's offenses are simply mistake prone, and not well executed.
