26 sacks allowed in Big Ten Play....

[Cornicator]

That's after 4 games. On pace for 58 sacks allowed in Big Ten play. I'm guessing that would smash all kinds of records.

I got sold on the preseason "Offensive line is the strength of the team" line

 

[Irv]

Yeah, but sacks are part of the culture.

And that's with the top 3 teams in the league not even on our schedule.

Thankfully we can lean on our running game

Remember when Rocco Spindler (to be fair to him he has played well this year) said we would be up for the Joe Moore award?? 🤣

One of the biggest failures IMO is not remotely attempting to develop a second (and third) running back in any form during the first half of the season. Even the games against Akron and HCU Emmett was getting 15+ carries on top of the receiving targets. As a result we have not only a shitty offensive line but one, very undersized RB who can’t pass pro and we’re still dropping back 35+ times per game. It’s pretty crazy to watch unfold

Shows how thin we are at RB that coaches getting paid millions of dollars, under tremendous stress to win, and see all of practice have concluded we cant play a 2nd RB more than a handful of touches. Losing Dowdell hurt.

What's even worse is Michigan State doesn't have a pass rush. It's been terrible all season. Minnesota hasn't recorded a sack the last two weeks, and had been largely ineffective against power conference teams.

We got Jaishawn Barham and Derrick Moore of Michigan PAID. They'll be at least day 2 picks off the film they farmed against us alone.

To be fair to the OL, they developed this confidence going against our DL.

I had that same thought that no wonder the DL and O Line suck. Iron sharpens iron but it looks more like aluminum to me.

Unc & nephew contributing to that sack record. I’m sure Dylan wants to be a first rounder & if he transfers, I’d expect Donnie’s shit to be on the lawn

I think DR should transfer after this season. He tried to save this thing and Rhule blew it. I don’t see a break through next year with the schedule and talent we have coming back.

Upgrade: OL, TE, RB, LB, DL, DC

Rhule needs to let an OC and DC bring in all the assistants they want vs gimping them with his guys.
