These errors and a porous defense (and some poor officiating) are why we lost.

While what you stated (first quote) may be true, that does not negate the possibility that there were some errors in strategy at certain points in the game (eg. certain specific playcalls at certain points in the game). One truth[s] (lack of execution, turnovers, poor officials, etc), in this case, does not negate other legitimate explanations (poor strategic decisions in the game) working in tandem toward the loss.
It seems a bit naive to totally exclude the possibility that in-game decisions IN STRATEGY might perhaps be one (among many) of the reasons as to why we lost this game.
(EDIT: The most glaring reason being lack of defense, as per usual.)
Re: Tony Franklin is an idiot . . . STILL
Oh well obviously the strategy is never perfect in any game. There is always areas to improve and things we can learn. The most glaring areas to me however were execution.
Also don't forget several of the poor playcalls were in essence errors in execution as they were pass/run options where the qb made the wrong read. I feel comfortable putting a lo of this on Colby because he is only human and has played spectacularly this season. Anyone can have a rough game.

True. True.

This.
