‘We know what we can do, we just have to do it.’
The fact that our linemen can describe what needs to be done, but they aren’t doing it, is just dumb, That’s coaching. If they won’t do their jobs, find younger guys that will.

Temperatures in the 30s

If we are double teaming a guy and aren’t getting any movement, we are either weak or no mean
For sure the line has not been executing as well as it should, but the biggest problem is schematic and play calling. Dunn will only run Ollie out of one-back sets and most of these are spread formations. Defenses keep an extra defender (or two) in the box because they are not afraid of our passing game. You get less than stellar push from the o-line without another back blocking and you run primarily inside zone or iso (without a fb doing the blocking for some ridiculous reason) with Ollie putting forth what appears to be less effort himself, and you’re going to get what OSU has got in run production.
You get better push from the line and better running from Ollie in conjunction with an extra back blocking, some fakes and counters, motion, and a true run/pass option (the Cowboys don’t actually do RPO because the qb is not a running threat) and you will get the production they had last year. Look at last year’s WV and OU games. Dunn was calling traps and counters and using motion and Ollie had a day. I don’t know why they’re not doing this at all this year.

He’s lying. He, and the rest of them, have major problems with the schemes being ran. The coaching staff won’t allow them to be honest 
.
I mentioned about three weeks ago of running more traps. They aren’t doing it this year because they’re stubborn and stupid. They’d rather lose than be forced to change.
How does a good team, not great team, but good team from last year with basically the same young men become a horrible team the following year??? Horrible, inept coaching!

Where is it that you coach and make 7.5 million again 
Maybe they should take any advice they can get? Especially since they keep admitting they get outcoached every game
