The is no way this team is winning 7 games.... This offense is broken in ways I didn't even know existed.

I can't quite understand how the offensive line is this bad, they couldn't impose their will on Nevada. This team is going to struggle to put up 200 yards of offense against every team in the B10.

jts because there is zero threat to throw the ball and they have a basic inside/outside zone scheme with some power. If you can’t keep defense honest with passing and playaction, and you can’t with a stiff like Petras, your offense is fucked.

Tanner Morgan sucks, only threw for 157 yards yesterday, and Ibrahim averaged 8.8 YPC on 23 rushes against Colorado.

The issues in the run game are entirely scheme/talent problems on the OL, don't give them any excuses or buy their bullshit about needing balance to run the ball. That's true against a team like Michigan or Ohio State, you shouldn't need balance to run the ball successfully against fucking Nevada.

Tanner Morgan threw for 157 yards on 11/16 passing.

I’m not saying the line is good. I’m saying that blaming anything offensively on anyone except one of the worst quarterbacks in the nation, someone who is a quarter-dimensional (if that), is a mistake.

When you are as limited at QB as Spencer is your offense is in real trouble. Could a really good offensive line help that? Obviously yes. The recruiting misses, retirements, early leavings, and injuries up front are all well documented. I’m not covering for that. If anything I’m saying each and every human involved with the offense should go find something else to do, especially the most responsible people for the quarterback position. KOK doing that is a good start. Brian and Kirk should be next.

I agree with all this. It isn’t like Petras has ever been really accurate nailing throws in games, he has never been that. We think he throws good deep balls, but realistically see what, 15 attempts at deep balls from him in a season? It’s been obvious Brian is trying to get him easy throws to get in rhythm, Spencer struggles on those too. If this really is OC vs head coach, son vs father, woof, here be dragons.
Lol.

Someday he’ll figure out that the correct response to someone calling your bullshit is to at least attempt to make your point that you just assumed everyone would buy. But crying that they don’t agree with your conclusion is another way to handle it.

Woosh you fucking moron.

It's one of the oldest Halo jokes (Mikey might have used it a thousand times) and dipshit fuckface Rolo doesn't get it.

I'm shocked.
One of the oldest halo jokes is your propensity for starting and prolonging shitfest arguments. The fact that you zeroed in on skin color really does indicate that you're a racist at heart. Nevertheless, I'm not going to get dragged into another of your halo shitfests, and knowing your infantile need to get in the last word, I'll give it to you.

We’d be 3-0 with him as our QB
Probably, point was every opponent of Minny's this season has known exactly what that were going to do and they've successfully run the ball anyway.

I can forgive Iowa having shitty QB play because I'm used to it, the running game being completely broken is inexcusable.
