I've said this more than once this year, and I stand by it. Pass blocking is more about technique, run blocking is attitude and toughness. Our OL is soft, it's not all the coaches fault. CHH has put many OL in the pros, so he knows how to coach the OL. If you don't think Marcus Jackson ( a true freshman) being the strongest OL on the team (when he got here) is a major problem, then i don't know what to tell ya.
The running game is a two fold problem right now.
The infusion of (possible) JUCO talent to the DL and how that works out is a big question.
Secondary still has a lot of work to do.
seriously, that stuff cracks me up.. I think it's funny to assume that if the QB checks into the right play, it's an automatic big-gainer. Contrarly to popular belief, our run game was only marginally better with Simms @ QB.
The bottom line is that we have not showed the ability (even against the likes of Montana and MTSU) to line up toe-to-toe and run smash-mouth power football straight up the gut. That is a major red flag, and without some major changes, I don't see it improving that significantly.
