The QB can't throw? Okay. That doesn't mean to line up in a 2-TE, FB, HB, 1WR set and try and run it up the middle against a 10-man box every play.

Spread it out. Run some zone-read out of the shotgun or the pistol with 3 or 4 WRs.

ADAPT.

I totally agree. EVERY team knows that we will run off tackle most of the time on first and second down and mostly to the left side. The opposing teams also know that Jennings is not a gunslinger and defend accordingly on third downs. The above refers to SEC teams and not the cream puffs.

This is exactly correct.

Even if we can't throw, make our play calling unpredictable. Use various different formations. Run from pass formations. Pass from run formations. Run more misdirection. Draws, screens. Keep the defense guessing.

Call plays that accentuate our strengths and minimize our weaknesses. Our coaches are paid millions. This isn't rocket science. Why aren't they doing it???

Yep. Wisconsin's qb is as bad as ours, but they are able to use creativity in the running/blocking game to create offense.
