Ode to a big play

Oh how we need a spark. Oh how we need the offense to snap out of it's funk. Our longest play from scrimmage in the Missouri and Ohio State games? The 24 yard completion from Juice to Jarred Fayson in the first half of the Missouri game. Since then? Nothing. No Dufrene through a gap and he's off to the races. No the defender fell down and Jenkins doesn't have anyone within 15 yards of him. No punter outkicked his coverage and Fayson got the corner. Nothing. Sure, we had some big plays against Illinois State, but that barely counts. The guys from my rec-league softball team, were we to put on some pads, might be able to run off left end against Illinois State.
