Message: [QUOTE="IthacaMatt, post: 4802673, member: 405"] Well, they have to stop running on first down. Let's start with that. Let's add in, use the middle of the field and pass to your TEs or your slot guys on slants, and square ins and button hooks. (Although I can't imagine they would still call them that ... LOL) What happened to using the counter and trap blocking to create holes for RBs to take advantage of? What happened to the wheel routes to our RB? Whatever happened to the screen pass? That's a known, proven way to slow down a rush that is overpowering an overmatched offensive line, and it seems like in year 8 under Babers, no matter who the OL coach is (and there have been MANY), we can't execute a GD screen pass. Not that bubble screen crap, like under the Clemson coach we had under Shafer, but a real-to-goodness, acting job by the OL, the QB back pedaling, and then toss it over the rush to your RB, with blocking support, going against safeties and LBs?
