We have to show them real Big Ten toughness. Bring out the barge.
We've tried it several times this year- opponents have just run through it pretty much untouched at multiple positions hitting our RB or QB in the backfield almost every time we've done it. It's also the reason I'm so unoptimistic for improvement of our O-Line. If you can't even put a body on multiple defenders when in max protect or barge, you're not going to be able to block with your standard 5 man front. As weird as it sounds, almost the only thing you can do with an o-line this poor is to spread them out as much as possible and call plays that take under 2 seconds at absolute longest to fully develop .We have to show them real Big Ten toughness.
