But that’s part of the game is it not? We have a great defense and so far really good special teams… I am confused what your point is.
The point is the run game isn’t working. Let’s throw the ball. The only throws have been simple dump offs when the team is forced to throw because the run game is non existent.

None of what you said has anything to do with my comment that the play for Dean that almost got the first down was a solid play call and crafted up well.
I was responding to the comment that run blocking has to improve. It does. But its hard to be great running into stacked 8 man boxes with the most basic running play in football.

Our big run came when we pulled and got on the perimeter. Yes, Noel held but it was good. Instead of going back to it we're literally running at Northern Iowa's best defensive player. With a brand new center making his first collegiate start.

Doesn't appear to be the greatest plan

It’s too early to worry they’re not going to open it up a little.

Imagine ******** about the team making those sorts of plays after they've been largely missing for really the last two seasons.

From what little I could see the Oline is getting off the ball and into people pretty well. Should I be upset?

I honestly think some posters here think we are losing
Sometimes you can’t please someone as they are impossible to please. Thus far this has gone way better than I thought it would. Long way to go but we asked for special team’s improvement and to this point it’s night and day different.

Offense needs to get going and nobody is going to say they look great. But they need to just keep growing throughout the game and not F it up with something stupid.

Campbell isn’t going to open the playbook this early in the year.

That's right, open up the playbook on your own 20 with an essentially new QB and rebuilt O-line while you are up 14-0.

Campbell really screwed up hiring Scheelhause without thinking things through.

Because you are in control of the game. Don’t F it up with an interception or something when you don’t have to throw anything crazy yet. Wear them down in this heat.
