Because Edwards was successful as a receiver against TCU, not a runner (24 yards on 6 carries).Trying to figure out how our running back had such good offensive production in that game and we haven’t found it since

I wish I had said that...Because Edwards was successful as a receiver against TCU, not a runner (24 yards on 6 carries).
In fairness, looking over the stats a lot of people have you on ignore.I wish I had said that...
Wow, really? Okay, mainly I was just giving Yak some good natured grief.In fairness, looking over the stats a lot of people have you on ignore.
I was going to make an ignore joke, but Goose beat me to it.Wow, really? Okay, mainly I was just giving Yak some good natured grief.
This OL coach and playcaller/OC doesn't know how to scheme an offense around a bad OL. Not saying it's easy, but the "blame everything on the bad OL" excuse rings hollow when they are consistently going 4 wide with a 170 lb RB as the only other blocker, or worse, 5 wide with no help.We always want to say th OL doesn't block. I am in the camp of a good back will get theirs. Feed them the ball, give them a chance to get a groove going and they will make some hay. You have to keep feeding.
All things considered, we're 29th in scoring at 34.4 ppg despite playing no real powder puffs. All with what might very well be the worst line in college football.This OL coach and playcaller/OC doesn't know how to scheme an offense around a bad OL.

A run game has to be developed, practiced, worked at constantly and there has to be patience with it during the game. Like their personnel decision during games, the in-game playcalling has immediately gone away from something when it doesn't work.... Except for the Rick Ross package. They keep trotting that thing out there like it's some automatic short yardage pickup package and it never actually works.

Yeah but going forward they are running the table in the B1G ( according to a nub 247 article I saw today)We played Nebraska
DT was amazing at JSU. We had one of the most disciplined teams too.D assistant saw problems. This will be a very long 2 weeks for the team
Trust. They don't trust the others to do their job but they also are overreacting. 3 shouldn't have been completely pulled because he slipped.The crazy part is those two issues don't even need Klatt or people with high football IQ to point out. ****ty fans on the Allbuffs pointed them out over and over and over and over and over here. How the coaches were not aware of them is truly scary.
We don't have a RB issue. We have a run blocking issue and it's mainly because of the interior OL especially the guards. They are just not the quality at this level. I wish we had Roddick and Brown back from last year.Need to look at the efficiency, not raw numbers, of which the RBs have been a positive efficiency:

Sacks just create too much statistical noise in CFB. PFF summary is RBs are getting solid grades, OL isn't good at run blocking (not a huge surprise) but RBs have been somewhat efficient:

Exactly. I feel like I can count on one hand this season the number of times one of our RBs had hit downhill momentum before dealing with a tackler.We don't have a RB issue.

Also due to the nature of draws and RPO’s though. No momentum.Exactly. I feel like I can count on one hand this season the number of times one of our RBs had hit downhill momentum before dealing with a tackler.
Marcellus Marshall (LT) was their best OL I believe and he transferred to UCF. Their C and RG were also RS Seniors, so 5th or maybe even 6th year players (covid year) and both were basically two year starters.I’m not quite sure how the Kent State RB last year had near 100yards vs Georgia playing with two of our OL we have this year.
4-3 is nothing to sneeze at and a HUGE improvement over recent history. I think why some are mildly concerned (me included), is the complete collapse against a lesser opponent, one that was as close to a gimme as there is in the P12...at home. Coupled with really sloppy undisciplined play, and two squeakers against teams CU should have beaten easily (CSU and ASU) has us wondering. All the teams the rest of the way are playing pretty solid FB. And where fUCLA and Utah are concerned, CU does not necessarily have a talent edge. Two more wins will be harder than most of us like to admit.At the beginning of the season, we all knew that DEPTH was a huge problem. We really should have won Friday night, but can anyone really say that 4-3 after 7 games is concerning?
I see it this way. Arizona is a MUST WIN. Somehow ... someway, we will beat one of the remaining 3 ranked teams or WSU. Utah does NOT look like they did last year and we can hang with Wash State, Oregon St, and UCLA.
If we win at least 2 more, this season was a success. Then the depth comes in the next 2 years. Then we expect 9 wins plus.
Helps their QB is a pretty good RPO QB even if he's average at bestMarcellus Marshall (LT) was their best OL I believe and he transferred to UCF. Their C and RG were also RS Seniors, so 5th or maybe even 6th year players (covid year) and both were basically two year starters.
Tank is serviceable but certainly not special, Bailey isn't very good, Savion Washington is solid, maybe even above average, but not special. RG has been a revolving door and obviously Savion being out for a couple weeks has really hurt. I'm wondering just how good Van Wells really is. The dropoff between he and Zalinskas is huge, but that doesn't necessarily mean Wells is a great player.
End of the day, they had a veteran laden OL that had continuity and multiple years in the offense. We certainly need a talent infusion on the OL, but the success of wholesale changes will still rely on how quickly and well they can all come together.
at least 2 disciplined efforts. If I see 5 disciplined efforts, then we will go bowling.It's going to take true disciplined effort to get one more win IMO
Ever?I'm serious. We might have seen our last win.
I am concerned, but no that concerned.I'm serious. We might have seen our last win.
feels goooood to take the worst case POV doesnt it......I'm serious. We might have seen our last win.
