Not going to grade position by position, but Creighton was obviously exaggerating comparing this line to last year's. It looks like Keen has also changed the scheme, going to more zone blocking. last year they did a lot of pulling and this game was mostly just the entire line flowing one way in a zone scheme.

Hopefully we were holding back the playbook for Rutgers. I definitely believe we were in the second half because we knew we had the game in hand and became very conservative. Roback could complete the short 10 yarders at will when allowed to.

Vann had like 90 yards on 26 carries I believe, but 20 of that was on the first run of the game. Take that away and he didn't even average 3 per carry.......not good! Against a weak DLine, we got no push up front and everything would just flow one way and collapse into a big pile after 2-3 yards. No push and no running lanes.

The other huge disappointment was that Turner didn't even touch the field, and he's our 2nd most talented back. He was not injured either. If I'm him and that continues, I'm transferring.

Pass blocking seemed decent, only gave up 1 sack, which was probably on Brogan for holding the ball and scrambling around too long. Tough to make any real judgements because Charlotte has a weak DLine and no real pass rushers.

As I said before this game. Rutgers will be the real test. Don't see a lot changing in the run game, and I'd be shocked if we get 100 yards rushing, so the only shot I think we have for an upset is cutting Roback loose to take advantage of our primary strengths at QB & WR. If we stubbornly try to 'establish' the run it's going to be a long day. Realistically we're a 2 TD dog in this game, and anybody who thinks we're just as talented, or 'should' beat these guys is delusional. It's possible of course, but we'd have to play perfect, and win the turnover battle by 2+.

The coaches now have a lot of OL film, so hopefully they see areas to improve and make adjustments.

Bottom line, got the WIN, and NO injuries! One game at a time.
