Once the QB spot was settled, the PSU OC had 2 significant personnel/roster issues to address this year:
1) Find out who your "top dog" was at the RB spot... with a second guy to rotate in enough to keep fresh.
2) Identify and develop a 3rd wide out to complement Hamler / Dotson.
Those are the two things - form a personnel standpoint - that stood out as the tasks at hand (as was mentioned back in August
), and really should have been a focus of pre-season and the OOC schedule.
Going into week 13, I don't know if the PSU O has taken so much as one step forward with either of those issues (maybe at the TB spot - largely by "accident", due to the injury to Cain)
In truth, it really didn't even appear that the OC even TRIED to accomplish either of those tasks..... which is really befuddling (but not that surprising, in a way
).
