flaws this year may be our downfall. Can't run, hard to win these tough games. PSU was down all three starting linebackers when we rolled through them on the ground. Stats vs. any other team with a pulse?

Colorado 41-168. Decent, not dominant.
Wisconsin 44-130. Awful.
MSU 42-192. Good, right? On regular running back plays they were 40-139. Pretty bad against a beat up, average defense.
Iowa 35-98. Awful.
Today even worse.
Gerry Dinardo said it week in and week out that even what looked promising in our running game was a facade. Wasn't that hard to see. Maybe this gets fixed next year by losing 3 or 4 of our five starters, albeit experienced starters.
 
Let me ask you this. Did the running game really hurt UM or was it the coaching staff that decided to run the ball rather than pass it?

I think it was the latter. Staff tried to fit a square peg in a circle hole.
