But I think it went from terrible to average. We’re not excellent down there.  Previous Message That said, I do think he has improved. Don’t have the numbers in front of me, but IIRC our red zone efficiency improved dramatically last year Previous Message He won’t give us much of an advantage. We run the same homogenized 11 personnel offense 90% of college football runs. But we are really heavy on inside zone, and unless you have a Notre Dame like OL, that’s not a great place to be. IMO the #1 reason all our backs, including Chase Brown, have or had really weak YPC numbers. Previous Message Lunney had already shit the bed a couple of plays prior with his 1st down option call that got Altmyer tackled behind the line and forced us to burn our only timeout and cost us FG range Previous Message Previous Message
Time for Officer Bart's crew to earn the hype.
