1. Offensive game calling.
We put giant handcuffs on our QBs by never allowing them to throw over the middle unless it's a quick slant. Every "chunk" play is a throw outside that severely limits yac opportunities as they are running into the sideline. Half the deep throws are uncatchable as they are out of bounds. Every other program in America calls some throws beyond 10 yards over the middle. He'll, we can't score in the red zone 'cause we're terrified to throw a pass into the endzone - unless it's a corner fade.
Every opponent sees this and knows every route we are running - and more importantly- everywhere we won't be throwing the ball. This makes defending us very easy. Schiano MUST take the handcuffs off the QB if we hope to win another game. We MUST utilize the entire field to have any chance of beating any opponent the rest of the year since our defense is going to give up 35+ pts in every game going forward (see #2)
2. Recruiting the lines
Our o-lines and d-lines have always been subpar. We can usually find enough guys to develop an ok starting group but if injuries happen in any quantity, we f#@ked. We are currently in f#@ked territory. Our dline was avg at best prior to injuries. Now its abysmal. Going forward, it's the fans who can change this. Our fans traditionally give less than every other B1G program and the results are visible on the field. We need a massive infusion of talent on the lines and that costs $$$$$. Unless you are satisfied with the current results, it's time to open our wallets. Otherwise it will never change.
