We are bad on the road. Who’s at fault?

Record past two seasons
Home: 12-0
Away: 5-6
Neutral: 1-1
Utah has now lost three road games in each of the past two seasons — including all three “big” road games this year (Florida, UCLA, Oregon).
How can we be so tough at home but mediocre on road?
Cam: While having heroic moments, he’s had really bad turnovers in all three road losses this season that cost dearly. That 4th down throw into the dirt last night was so painful. Also didn’t get much help from the WRs, tho.
Defense: Hard to blame them for last night. They bowed up and gave the offense plenty of chances to take the lead. They were awful against UCLA. Did enough against FL for us to have a chance.
Coaching: Questionable play calling was abound in the road losses. And it’s thought to not blame the coaches for rolling out a team with no kicker for the second season in a row. Also — seems like there has to be some sort of preparation issue if we look that out of sync on road compared to home.

Coaches are to blame.
Cam doesn’t perform well in hostile environments.
Kicking is also on the coaches at that’s not blurry forgivable.

Have you considered that maybe the team just isn’t good enough to beat more talented teams on the road? Our offense, in it’s current injured state, is severely lacking in the talent department.

Thing is it was very clear we actually could beat Oregon last night. In fact, if you’re an Oregon fan you’re thinking “damn we got away with one” this morning. So I don’t really agree.

Which I’m sure is exactly what UF fans were saying after we threw the ball their LB on the goal line.
