As I sat in BSFS yesterday I really wanted to blame the RB's for the lack of performance, but I couldn't. I was struck about how bad our O line blocks on the perimeter and second level. You name it, kick out and post blocks are severely lacking. It's not as if a seam is created and the back misses it, their is no seam at all. You combine that with a real lack of strength to dominate (cough, cough insert Dawson's strength program failures here) the man across the line from them, and bingo you've got a five alarm fire.
Because it's too simple to blame all RB's for this issue. I judge our backs on "explosive plays" runs from scrimmage of 20 yd's plus. We had a couple but not nearly as many as Baylor has been allowing all season. The holes just simply weren't their. Dimel was trying to grind that square peg in a round hole all day, and it just wasn't working. Thanks to Baylor's two major special teams blunders or we wouldn't of won yesterday
Secondly, (speaking to the fumble that rolled 20 yards to end up out of bounds) why in the hell didn't the returner simply run to the inside of his block?
It was wide open spaces.
