BCEagles25 {l Wrote}:I think for all of Steve Adazzio's in-game deficiencies (pick one, I don't give a shit) his offensive system can really work in today's game of finesse and spacing because nobody outside of FSU/Miami/Clemson has the personnel to defend a physical ground and pound game. You need a lot of large defensive linemen to be able to eat those lanes, especially considering we roster blocking tight ends and will routinely have extra linemen/TE's in there. Very few teams have that, they have smaller pass-rushers or edge rushers that absolutely are obselete against a large line. It really is a nice counter to the modern game. That being said, what we need in order for it to work is a good, physically dominant line... a decent QB that will make you respect the run game (a guy like Murphy or ABrown will do), and a defense to make sure we don't have to play down two scores.
This is a pretty stupid take. Essentially: "if we're good enough, only good teams will have the talent to beat us."
Power running is not a schematic advantage that people aren't recruiting for. It's just something that you can do well if you have the right people. Wisconsin and Arkansas both ran this offense this year: one of them failed miserably and it's not because they faced such a talented group of opponents. Conversely, BC spent the last few years doing this poorly, despite the fact that only "FSU/Miami/Clemson have the personnel to defend" it.
