As has been repeated ad nauseam why not just run what we ran last year?

We put way more pressure on the QB last year.

I listened to a couple of podcasts (I think football never sleeps, and one with Jamie U, here’s what I surmised after listening)

Imho, we did more stunts, etc on the DL confusing the other team’s OL. Sneed was unblockable against OSU (the game we played at home).

You can say execution all you want, I’m not buying it because in my heart of hearts if Golden we’re still here we are 2-1, at worst, & likely 3-0, with a spring in our step.

When the new DC was interviewed in preseason he said something like this is the most talented defense he’s been around since a OSU natty year (2014? I dunno). Isn’t it time to look in the mirror? Doesn’t that statement say it’s scheme?

I don’t want to sacrifice the season for a guy that probably won’t be here in a year (hello OC Parker), let’s get more creative up front, let’s create some havoc. And see what happens.

Imho, the players are thinking what to do, instead of just reacting, playing with a natural flow and playing fast.

Just my 2 cents, as always I could be wrong

God bless & Go Irish! 🍀
