Why do we continue to use that garbage package? All college teams are too fast/athletic on the edge to get a third back to the LOS in time. The coaching decisions this staff make continue to baffle me.

Seemed to be working the first 3 quarters...
 

Y'all whine if we run power I on third down. Y'all whine if we run read option on third down. Y'all whine if we throw on third down.


Shut up.

I didn't see us run the power I at all. Perhaps you mean the Maryland I?

Maybe you should coach then. Since you are a football genius and all. :rolleyes:
 


I'll be happy if we never line up in the Maryland I again.
 

Our longest run of the night came out of the Maryland I. The 4th down play had nothing to do with the formation. One of our OL got beat big time on the play. It doesn't matter what formation you run if that happens.
 





That was one of the only times that what LesBolstad refers to as the Power-I didn't work.

I'm sure he was pontificating about it's uselessness in college football as we were running the ball effectively out of the formation all night.

What a turd.
 

Close circuit to all the clueless tools: I'm talking about the Maryland I in short yardage/goaline situations when the D has the LOS stacked with 8 or 9 in the box; you can't get a 3rd back who starts 8 yards in the backfield to the line in time. Obviously, the formation has merits in other situations as demonstrated last night.

Turns out you are the ignorant turd, Bobby Dooshlaw (and your 5K posts).
