What has been the problem ? Can it all be blamed on the Oline ? Is our lack of being able to run the ball on 3rd and 2 up the gut that's killing us ? Has the play calling been some of the issue ?

We just can't have half of our RZ appearances end in FG's this season given our schedule. To me this has been one of our bigger issues and it needs fixed.

You have to have some semblance of a run game. We can only run the ball with two tight ends. Then that restricts your keeping the defense honest. Until we can run out of 01 personnel or the like forget it
