Assuming the topic is still "What's wrong & how to fix it"...
The biggest problem is that we have an offensive line that utterly disintegrated when the RT went down with an injury. Whether or not the difference should have been that dramatic is not something I even want to get into. No, I don't think that the '84 offensive line would have been hurt so much by one injury (that team lost two league games and still won the outright B10 title by the way) but these are the cards we're dealt.
"How to fix it" is a different issue.
- What is the extent of Barton's injury? Will he be available against scUM lite?
- If not:
- On pass plays we need to roll Smith out on Saturday, and every Saturday thereafter until Barton is 100%.
- On running plays, we need misdirection to get linebackers to take themselves out of the play.
