Haven't read the rest of the thread, but this ^^^ is about it. Hard to make adjustments when the line is just "serviceable". Want to take the next step, shoring that up will be a huge step in the right direction.
I think our coaching on the offensive side of the ball has been less than great this year. I's give them a C+. Too often the players haven't looked sharp on offense, which I think stems from a lack of confidence in their preparation and the plays they're being asked to run. I believe all year we have lacked a commitment to running the ball. That's made us one-dimensional and put too much of the weight on Brock.
I have complete confidence in Campbell and trust he will make the adjustments necessary in his staff. It's been obvious since the Okie State game that something isn't quite right. As the season went along opposing coaches have been able to exploit our weaknesses. Today we were massively out-coached.
I believe we have to be realists though. The team on the other side of the field wants to win also and is working very hard to achieve that goal. Sometimes the other team has a talent advantage that can't be overcome through coaching. Notre Dame is a very good football team. If we feel bad as ISU losing to Notre Dame, how would you like being an OU fan? One of the elite programs in the country and they're being taken apart by LSU.
