Swish falling in line with the Kaiser. I've never been one to build bunkers and go all doomsday prep, but clearly it's time to start.
 
I think the advantages of hiring SS were clear, but sometimes the downside of hiring a defensive guy as HC are a clear lack of creativity, imagination, or just plain balls on offense. There's a tendency with defensive guys to go conservative and, to use a favorite term of this board, "meathead" on offense, and play not to lose with the assumption that the D will carry the day.
 
We saw that, I think, yesterday, combined with an incredibly green and apparently overwhelmed brand new offensive coordinator. All of that has been hashed out here and elsewhere, but George McDonald and his O seemed woefully unprepared for this game. From communication to playcalling to route running, seems like things were discombobulated from the start. Obviously this needs to be fixed, and we can assume it will.
 
SU won't face many defensive tackles as strong and as quick as Daquan Jones. He's one of the best in the B1G, if not country. The line play is cause for concern, Robinson seemed to miss some blocks against Jones in particular, but of more concern is the lack of a coherent plan on offense.
 
Really wish this team would open its first two in Rutgers fashion by playing Inept Tech or PeteCalvin U or the like.
