totally. the situational awareness, instincts, and even joy of playing has been beaten out of this team. I think the only joy I saw all year was hitting that fieldgoal against Texas....I guess that was our superbowl.
I do wonder if something is going on in the locker room. They sure haven’t looked like they are having fun.

USC was also on their 4th QB in the second half.

QB play defense? they rolled up like 48 points Ferentz pulled out every trick play he could find.

And imagine lining up under center and sneaking the ball to get a first down what a concept..

Don't know if it's been said already, but what do you want to run on 4th and short from under center? Our OL hasn't been able to move people for three years. Is that going to suddenly change? Our only success has come from passing, and getting the DL moving laterally then finding holes. That is the root cause of our issues. We can block guys effectively by screening them while they're moving and let the RBs pick their way through - outside zones, off tackle, pitch, sweep, etc. But between the tackles we can't do ****. Simply going under center doesn't fix that.

100% disagree. If you can’t get 1/2 yard knowing the signal then you can’t do anything
