is this the run game we are missing

Good point. MSUs RB averaged 3.1 ypc. Barkley averaged 4.5 ypc. “Let’s be more like MSU!!!!”

LOL.

LOL you missed the point again, I really dont think you want to understand the point. I am not wanting to be MSU, just pointing out they are as young as we are on the OL, they control their own fate. To paraphrase Jimmy, You cant just say 'we are young, we have guys hurt, etc etc' you have to put them in a position to win. scoring 38 point is irrelevant when you lose 39-38, especially when you lead in the 4th qtr 35-20 vs OSU at the shoe.

You are spinning your wheels here. Your argument stinks because you are refusing to acknowledge the problem (OL talent/experience).

sure....
again replace suck with talent/experience

Power running is not going to work in RPO in obvious run situations. As you know, it is hard to convert very short yardage third downs. So, how do you adjust? Incorporate power running with QB near center or add option plays. Easy said hard to practice for both. Just give up on power running game, do what Penn State is doing but execute. RPO creates big play opportunities, negative yardage plays are unavoidable if you hesitate in execution.

Just accept it until coaches evolve it if possible.

Good post. There is give and take with each offense, but this one puts points on the board consistently. It still can't overcome 3 turnovers on the road, dropped passes at critical moments, and personal fouls.

Their running game was not much of a factor in getting to this point; at least not against us.
