I really don't think that is possible. Youhave to install your system and then try to pick the plays WITHIN the system that your players have the best chance to execute. You cannot have a new system every year to suit the talent at hand.

The offense is comprised of many different parts and some of the players fit and some don't.  We are, at the same time, playing at a different level, which makes it even more challenging. I believe one of the reasons that we have so many frosh playing is that because they do fit the system and even if they would benefit from a RS season we can't afford it. We also need to go  into next year with some players who have a bit of experience.  It is a real balancing act that can easily be upset with injuries or slower than anticipated player development.

Look at our OLine. It was supposedly the strength of the offense and against MD it was but vs ND and the better programs they are just another OLine.

We are at the point where we can compete against pretty much all but the elite programs, but that about it. THIS set of players has to improve in order to go to a bowl and we have to continue to recruit the players we need to compete at a higher level.
