It's the formations stupid...

I know I've been negative in the past, but I have faith in this offense. I've watched the Troy game 4 times. Yes there is an o-line issue! they cannot handle 7-9 man fronts in the formations Canada is running in the beginning of that game... the motions have zero effect against a stacked box. When they spread it out to 4-wide Troy shifted and could only send 3-5 man fronts which our guys were more than capable of protecting against. Etling was able to take off and run if there was no one open and we could run the "zone read" more efficiently, since there were less men to block. Its the "only" stretegy going forward in my opinion. Listen, I think #44 Tory Carter is a stud and we can still run the f-back plays, but only after the opponent is gassed and on their heals
