“Kentucky- Youngstown St “ GAME THREAD

They seem to be coaching down to the level of competition too. Playing calling so far has been a head scratchier.

We've got two manageable opponents this week and next to unscrew our run game and OL play. We better be about the business improving dramatically.

Or if the defense has 8/9 guys in the box….CHECK TO SOMETHING ELSE WILL LEVIS.

I don’t know what we’re doing. Like we scripted all these plays and are going to run them no matter what.

Throw the damn ball.
This seems to be a big problem so far this season. We break the huddle too late to check out of the called play. Levis has got to be better at picking up what the defense is doing and change into something better, it’s his biggest weakness.
 
As stated by an earlier poster, the OC obviously had about 10 to 15 scripted plays they are running regardless of what the defense is doing which answers why we continue running into the left side brick wall.

Our O line needs to really step it up we have been manhandled too much in 3 games!
I wouldn't say they are getting manhandled. They are whiffing big time a lot of the time. Horsey let one by earlier in the drive. Barely making contact. Reminds me when my son had to play tackle when he was clearly a guard and not fast enough to play tackle. If he could get a hold of the DE, fine but a lot of the time would come up with air.

I think it's more that they are trying to get better at what we aren't good at during this week and next week's games. And hopefully it gets better. It's not unusual for us to win games with D but this O has way more potential than what we've had in past seasons...just gotta hope the line gets up to speed.

Yes....and you see a lot of 'choosing the wrong guy to block' and that sort of stuff going on with this group. Guy on the end may block down and leave the outside defender unblocked when there was nobody on the inside to go block type of stuff.

And I’m fine with that. But you wait until you get up a couple of scores before you do that.

There is nothing wrong with working on the run game, but how about using the parts that are working like running to the right side. When the defense shift to compensate that will loosen up things to the left.
