Our run game needs a drastic improvement to get this up and get that defense some rest. I get we are a pass-heavy team, but the dink and dunk must be addressed also. Our play calling this year looks bland and it's clear how I feel about the OL.

Yes the offense needs to sustain drives. It been a variety of causes but the point is they need to sustain drives. 

The defense is very feast or famine right now. They have issues tackling and constantly get burnt on the backside or losing receivers in the zones. On the other hand they make big plays as well and vs the Hags the backside issue seemed to be fixed.
