B/c this offense (personnel wise) is extremely limited.  Hunt's biggest strength is his elusiveness, so the offense has to utilize that (which is a read option offense).  I don't know there is an offensive system that can work with this personnel against ACC teams.

You can try and be a power running team, but the OL has regressed.  Hickey had his best game of the year tonight and still had some issues.  Interior line may as well have been non-existent, mainly Miller.  With Broyld and Estime out, WR's can't get separation against press coverage and hit the slants.  But, they can't block on bubble screens either.

Also, nowhere did I say GMC is a good OC.  I am saying more of the offensive woes rest with the QB position then the playcalling (and OL is high up on that list as well).  However, the OL actually pass blocked well tonight in creating a pocket (which also may be b/c Ville wanted to keep Hunt in the pocket).

People railed on Hackett and he all of a sudden became a good OC when he had a NFL QB under center (b/c that is what a power run/play action style relies on, a NFL style QB).  I think McDonald's system has a better chance at being successful consistently in college, but needs more time to get players in.  The cupboard was bare offensively, especially at WR and QB.  I think our OL recruiting has been bad.

We are transitioning from a power run team to a finesse spread team.  We are putting square pegs in round holes overall.  However, if we have another schematic shift, we will need to restart that as well.

My biggest issue with the offense?  We don't have a single coach with OL experience.  Game is won in the trenches.
