This is the same old new thing...third and thirteen and when we had Pat Dye we would line up under center and run it up the middle. Now we just line up in shotgun formation and run it up the middle. AHHH!
(sorry, I had to let out a scream)
I would also appreciate much more in the BLOCKING department on the offensive line. Yes, they give the QB time, but when it comes to letting someone run, they seem to forget their blocking assignments. Now, I know that MSU has a reputation of having 300+ defensive lineman, however, they didn't get to the QB that much and if they can keep them off the QB, they can create holes for the running game. I might be a girl, but I did play football many a year and my specialty was the line. They weren't the only ones that were not doing their job. I certainly hope that Tubbs has that kicker running stadium steps today. Three and four turnovers a game and winning is not going to continue much longer, not with LSU, TENN and the like coming up in the schedule. The ball is just being dropped too much for being the second game into the season. I am glad Brad Lester only has a sprained neck. That was very scary to watch on TV. It was just as horrible to watch Charlie Weiss's knee go to pieces. Oww.
