I hope you are right. That's why they play the games, but are we holding back on how to block or tackle? I don't think that missed blocks and poor defensive play is strategy. I have had rose colored glasses for years and I traded them in for some clear ones this year. The competition in the B1G is a lot tougher than the Big 12. Burkhead needs to carry the ball more or #3 is going to get hurt and then we can kiss this season goodbye. QB #15 isn't ready, give the ball to 22 and let him take on the load. I am not suggesting wear him out just use him more. I don't think we suck or are a bad ball team, but some basics better start getting better or we are in for a tough season.
