Our run blocking has been generally atrocious in all 3 games. Only Bijans creativity and RJs toughness has given the occassional illusion of anything otherwise.
I told my son at 31-17 (even after Bijans touchdown run which was a fortunate combination of luck, poor spacing, and poor tackling) we may have problems because tech was going to continue to move the ball and we couldn't control possession due to inability to run block.
And on a related note, we need more RB screens and some options or pitchouts (what happened to the "pitch"??) to get our backs in space to mitigate this.
Just looked like a timid, too conservative and predictable approach in the second half when everything about the play (especially by the oline) was screaming "You better get out of the box and get creative/break schedule!"
