The thread is mislabeled and that is my fault.  I acknowledged in the 3rd post that they both take blame, but IMO, Hunt takes more blame.

You need talented OL to do that though.  Trudo/Robinson can't pull. Palmer/Foy/Hickey can't get outside consistently given their weights/knees.  Not necessarily NFL talented OL, but need more talent on the OL then we have right now.

I don't disagree about studying the Falcons, but UCLA is another pretty good team to evaluate.  Their offense is pretty legit.  Whether or not that is b/c of Hundley will be interesting to see b/c the offense wasn't very good pre-Mora.

Sneak didn't work against Notre Dame.  Neither did a straight 3rd and 1 run.  This is my point, we run our play and it gets blown up.  No data from previous games that the typical short yardage plays work with our OL.  And the reverse worked.  And then the double reverse woudl have worked.

Takes time.  We lost our C and key to the OL in McPherson.  That has a lot to do with the struggles of that unit, especially since I think Miller is in over his head.  OL unit has regressed, but not sure how that falls on McDonald (more on Shafer IMO due to the hire).  Takes time for the OL to develop and that is why I thought Denzel Ward had a chance to play right away.

Frosh are playing right away in Ishmael, Custis and Phillips.  People also want Enoicy to play.  I believe that is all the true frosh skill players we recruited...  So 3 of 4 playing and Corey Cooper probably would have played as well if he didn't leave.  That is a lot of true frosh to get time when there was minimal losses at their respective positions.  It is hard for true frosh to play right away AND make an impact, especially now that we are in the ACC.
