and surprisingly some of the people that work for the site are spewing it. I can't believe some of the nonsense I read in Nates piece. Sure he was brutally honest but he basically took the heat off of the coaches and chalked it up to "their hands are tied because the line doesn't have good players". Thats absolute nonsense. Is the line good? No, by no means am I suggesting it is, but it doesn't help running out of the same formation for most of the game and making yourself so predictable. You see inferior teams all the time play tough against superior teams and at least be able to move the ball. How do they do that? With SPACING. One advantage an offensive team has in college football is the ability to spread the field. Spread defenses out and beat them with quick hitters and a quick passing game. Its really easy for the defense to pin their ears back when were so packed in tight and really have no rhyme or reason for what play is being called. No play coincides with the other. No shots downfield or even up the seam. Instead we pack it in and have our receivers run slants or stops. So the opposing teams play man up, press the hell out of our receivers with a single high safety and bring the house. Our coaches are allowing them to do that by not spreading the field, not running any blitz beaters with draws or screens. Our offensive scheme is as elementary and vanilla as it gets and don't be fooled...It doesn't have to be that way. Don't believe the crap that "we can't do this or can't do that because our line is so bad". Sure they're not very good but there are ways to attack a defense and actually play into the strengths of our quarterback and our coaches simply refuse to do it.
This board is littered with BS
