[QUOTE="Halloweenie, post: 1419213, member: 646807"] It is very hard to see how this ends well. If you are going to line up in a soft cover two with no pass rush, good passing teams will put up 40 against you every game. Purdue would beat us 10 out of 10 times. You might be able to run this scheme if you had 4 or 5 all big ten players. On offense, bush decided to do it all by himself. Bush takes way too long to go through his reads, so if you blitz him he has no chance unless he can scramble out of it. Receivers have trouble catching it and getting open. Our best receiver is tough but does not have great ball skills. Witness the long pass in the second half in which he was unable to adjust. We may somehow win another game this year but it seems unlikely. Even bad BT teams like Nebraska and Minnesota were competitive. We were awful against a decent team, but not a top five team in the league. Unless the Trinity qb is a better version of Juice Williams, I don't see how we are much better next year. If not, what do you do then, start over? [/QUOTE]
