The O line stinks. There is a jailbreak every time Barkley runs the ball. None of the guys on the O line deserves a scholarship.

and I am not seeing them get better....except for McGovern they all have seemed to get worse. And I am tired of hearing they are young....that shit excuse worked in September. It's freaking November and they BLOCK NOBODY!

Michigan State's O-line is young too and at this moment I'd switch the two if I could.
 
After the trajectory of last season, I really thought our OL would be a strength. Even the Fox commentators are now making observations about how our OL is struggling. I know Bates is out, but this is not an isolated example.
I do not want to see this kind of a rushing offense next season.
 
I watch a ton of football...I have never seen a group of guys just totally miss guys more than this group PSU has...seriously...I defy anyone to tell what team in the country WHIFFS more than this group. I could live with it if they got pushedd backwards now and then, or got caught holding a few times but my God....I have NEVER EVER seen so many players come untouched in my life...
 
Wonder why some of the younger guys aren’t an option. Limited playbook knowledge? These guys Have to be physically ready.
 
I just can’t understand our OL regression after last season.
Meanwhile, MSU’s OL of younger guys is doing a decent job keeping their pocket intact.

Could not agree more!
 
Ya I don’t understand it either. Evey single run play against BIG teams there has been 1 or more defenders in backfield.
 
Every run play, 3 guys are in the backfield before we hand off. It's gotta be tells. We pull a guy, he's followed in unblocked. The read man is crashing the play giving up total contain. And then someone loses a matchup, badly.

Agree. They can be as bad as the results are. They just can't be

I wonder what Ricky Slade is thinking after watching the last several games?
 
Fwiw.

The one time we ran an actual straight, "power" run Barkley got 4 yards ( on the last series)

I am convinced that the scheme is at least 50% of the struggles for the line
Of course it’s the scheme. Iowa is running against psu. But don’t give a pass to the defense. The schemes there are terrible
 
Said this in the other thread.

But just about every true dedicated run play basically worked today.
 
PLAY LIKE F<>-ING LOSERS AND YOU F<>K-ING LOSE!!!!
DISGUSTING, DISGRACEFUL PERFORMANCE!!!!!!
