This play should look familiar to those that read the corn nation article. I was watching the game and couldn't help but think how pissed off Mike Leach would be watching our play.

Let's just move on from that, as those clips are what had me so frustarated that I didn't have a write-up. So, as a playcaller what the heck do you do? Your OL can't win 1 on 1 blocking schemes when you have favorable numbers in the box. And 74 defenders are unblocked to get to our RB. Now this last one could be a blown line call, watch our center basically have to block no one. So our other tackle has to be better right? Let's just run that way? Our RT is so high that the defender gets under his pads and gives our RB nowhere to go. Our RB is still able to get yards, but his momentum shouldn't be slowed by a backside DL. Again, I could type a bunch out about what needs to change, but the bottom line is it just has to get better. Defender beats him across his face and goes to make the play. Blocks zero people and i'm not exactly sure the rule here, but I can promise you this isn't what was supposed to happen. Maybe that was just one play? How does he do here? He heads up towards the ILB who loops away and the guy over top of him makes the play. Martinez helps us a bit here, but the "clock" some people talk about should never be an issue against a 3 man rush and certainly not when you have your "best" offensive lineman on someone: Check some of these out:Ĭheck out the LT here on a 3 man rush. I'll just tell you that as a playcaller, there's about zero way Frost can call anything if this happens. We had the debate all last week about if the center position was the crux of the issues.

I think this is something extremely easy to take care of. If Mills could hesitate for a half second or so, it would clear a lot of things up for him. Martinez is patient letting his tackle fold inside, and it gives him time to see where the defense is setting up or flowing to. And it's ONE of the reasons our best run play right now is the QB power inside with Adrian Martinez. And while he puts his head down, many times there's something opening up elsewhere. In this offense, the holes changed a bit. But in this offense, it is much different than the triple option Ga Tech used to run where out of his B-back position he would hit the hole hard and the QB would read a give, keep, or pitch. The reason Dedrick Mills is struggling a bit right now, is because at Georgia Tech, he's the thumper. I was heading home from work today and actually heard on the radio a talk track I was getting ready to go into and mentioned a couple days ago on this site. My glass is half empty response is the fact we are having to correct them from guys with double digit starts under their belt gives me pause on how easy this is going to be.

I'll try to go into it here, but my glass is half full for you before you read this, is all of these things are massively correctable. It's actually the offense that has given us headaches, and in some instances, areas that really shouldn't be a problem. But besides that play and a couple here and there, we played well. I get they gave up the flea-flicker, and i'll just chalk that up to when Riley was here he told us flea-flickers don't matter and to not worry about them. Keep this article in reference, as I will make mention of it:īut what went wrong? Quite honestly, I think our defense played a hell of a game. So we have people thinking they are trying to hard, other people taking a statement to mean we let up, all the while a team with a first year coach just beat us where we had the game firmly in hand. We even had people upset that our captain said "we were blowing them out, we thought this game was over, we were dominating them". Too much wanting to be great like the 90s. We spent all this time saying effort wasn't there with Pelini and Riley, that we just have too much effort now. Here's my favorite one from this past week: We need to quit looking for reasons why things happened and creating false narratives. "Losing mentality", "Had bad habits from Riley", "We weren't squatting", it's on us now. All of the excuses are starting to run out a bit. Taking a 17-0 lead into the half, keeping the Buffs off the board until basically the end of the 3rd quarter, and lose in OT Just brutal. That is about as devastating as a loss as I can remember.
