So who was in control of the offense vs Texas? Dabo or Riley?

I got a feeling a few of you are about to bend yourselves into a pretzel and say something like

"well see it's complicated bc Dabo has his philosophy BUT he lets the OC call the plays sometimes as long as it fits inside his philosophy and if it doesn't then Dabo will ###### the waffle house menu and call the game himself"

You guys are funny as heck 🤣

Dabo had the NJ drones calling the game b/c he and Riley couldn't agree

Cade. He was calling his own plays. That is why a lot of things worked…

Some calls are obviously dabo. Like that play where everyone stands still and we run a throwback screen.

That play was mind boggling in that spot. High school

So if it's a bad play call, Dabo had something to do with it but when it's a good play call that works out, Riley called it?

No

But when old plays we've run for years before riley pop up and kill the momentum of the play calling, it's safe to assume dabo had a say in the call.

What's your point here?

Commentators did say that was old Chad Morris play but that doesn't mean Dabo called it.

I'm just speculating, I don't actually know. I like my theory: that dabo made that particular call. Riley has no attachment to that play, Cade was playing well. Why the gimmick?

Who called that stupid 4th down run option on the goaline that was a huge momentum swing in the game?

Let me guess, Dabo? 🤣

So by your logic, dabo should call every play, because he's infallible 😂😆😂😆😂 😭😢😭😢 😆😆😆

I don’t know who called/came up with that play but part of the reason it didn’t come close to working was the players must have been embarrassed to run it.

It worked once a decade ago against Miami and has never worked since

of course. But only on non-scoring drives.

I don't understand what you are talking about. The offense was the best
we had. It doesn't matter about control but which ever, they or he did
a good job.Get over it, we tried and lost, get in the Christmas Spirit.

Who was in control of the defense when we managed to get within 7 points again and promptly gave up a 80 yard touchdown?

Probably Riley as usual.

Lots of vertical routes, clearouts for underneath crossers. Looked like mostly Riley. Williams TD and last failed 4th down were Riley's bread and butter plays with Davis and Johnson as WRs at TCU.

Riley until Dabo tells him i want xyz. This is not uncommon and not sure why it's a huge deal. Will say wasn't thrilled by the timeout and 2 back to back runs on the goal line but it's 1 freaking yard so I get it.
