I am curious what the armchair quarterbacks have to say on this one. The defense we got from ND this year was very different than years past. It looked a lot like VT and Iowa.
For most offenses the goal is to make them one dimensional. For our offense it seems like the goal is to make us two dimensional, and we tend to perform here very poorly regardless of the quarterback.
Now I admit that with limited insight into our blocking and passing schemes I am a little clueless on this one, so to those of you who know the ins and outs of our offense I ask this: what separates us from an effective spread team that has a higher run-pass balance? Why do we hit the panic button and chuck it deep on three consecutive downs when the run gets stuffed?
I am asking beyond the obvious re: lining up in the shotgun, winning in man coverage, etc. Schematically, what is our big gap in the passing game?
