Have an identity and stick to it. Power run and pass when you need to. With a dominate line that can run block on the unexpected to the defense. This one back in the backfield in the shotgun on the 2 yard line has got to end. Lead backs and power in close. The west coast offense will work in the Big 10 ie: OSU. But just like the option game.You have to have the players to make it work. Many coaches have said that the option oriented offense can't be stopped "IF" you have the athletes on the line and skilled to pull it off. Trying to pound square pegs into round holes is over. Back to basics and identity will help save our program. Just my 2 cents
