To sum up our offensive scheme it continues to be line up and beat the guy in front of you. That works if you have 3 first round OL (Bama in years past) but we don't. At no point do we try to spread the defense out and run power up the middle (ie what state did to us) or use misdirection to get the skill guys the ball in open space. We look like a 9 year old playing playstation. It's either a power run play or throw it deep. Where are the short and intermediate passes. Where's the read option we heard about all summer? Yeah our OL is disappointing but our scheme isn't exactly helping them succeed. I form with one and two TE sets are being used too much. And for anyone who has watched us they know that we refuse to throw to the TEs so it becomes basically a 7 man OL in those sets and beat your man. A great and very crucial play the other night that state ran was the 3rd and 11 after our defensive TD. You don't see us do that. Misdirection one way to run the screen the other. Give your athletes the ball in space. And we need to practice this shite against the ULMs. Yes we can run it 60 times against them and win. Great. But run your offense you need to run to beat the SEC teams and get work in. Use the three and four wide sets. Create mismatches. Create space. Do what state did to us and it makes me fricking sick that I have to say that.

Stop the FB dive. It's 9v11. Most teams with mobile QBs in goalline situations do that inverted wishbone with the TEs lined up behind the guards and plunge forward with the QB. 11v11. They get it. We don't. There is a reason nobody else runs it except maybe 3-4 times per season. Not per GAME. I would love to see a stat on how many FB dives are run per team (not counting triple option teams)

Defense. Same problem. Not physical enough up front. We are soft. Our tackling is suspect. No pass rush. We can't expect our DBs to cover for 7 seconds. The long TD pass was on the fronts inability to close down Dak.

Question: are the highly touted linemen we recruited not that good or do we not develop them? I'm thinking it's more of the latter.

And guys we have been down 3 TDs in the first half twice this season against the two decent teams we have played. Not a good sign. And if Wisconsin's entire DL doesn't get hurt that game might have turned out differently.

At this point I think we beat Florida and arky but I'm not too confident we can beat the other teams.

In summary, frick.
