GS's vision for the program (ball control, low risk, ground and pound, play the field position game) will absolutely not work at RU in the B1G. Adding the 4 Pac 12 teams further cements that. All 4 will consistently gut our defensive scheme as we move forward.
We are NEVER going to get the players needed to successfully execute his vision. It requires perfect execution and luck. How many times has he said "it was a 1 score game with x amount of time left"? ALL of them resulted in losses.
Offense:
The focus to be scoring, scoring and scoring. We saw some of that last night but we weren't fully committed to it if you look at some of our possessions. There is enough talent to make that unit responsible for delivering wins. The OC has to accept and understand that there will be missed throws, drops, TO's and plan accordingly. It's like we plan on 4 TD's and are surprised when we end up with just 1 or 2.
KM has hidden the fact that we aren't consistent in creating room to run. We are in for a very rude wake up call next year. He does a lot all on his own.
Defense
I'm nervous to see what the talent level looks like next year. We need to shift to some smoke and mirrors to get an occasion stop. Did anyone know what USC was going to do on defense when the ball was snapped? Did EVERYONE know what Rutgers was going to do on defense when the ball was snapped? There can be no expectation of the defense controlling the game. NONE. Anything they provide is a bonus. The scheme in the 1st half has to go away FOREVER. We don't create any stress for the OC, QB, OL, RB, WR, TE. I was happy to see the DC give the kids a chance to make a play in the 2nd half. I can accept us getting burned because there is a talent disparity.
Next year is going to be brutal if GS stays the course.
