Anyone else tired of rotating RBs so much?

Wilbon breaks off about a 9 yard run, best of the night for us. Then immediately comes out and Oz comes in for a pitch play to the outside. One of if not our slowest RBs comes in for a pitch play against an Ohio State defense I'm pretty sure is comprised of all 4 and 5 stars with what seems like 4.4 to 4.5 forty times.

How can this be okay? None of our running backs can get in a rhythm with a system like this.

You should be a head coach at a major college program.

Haha! Yeah, it's a little deeper than rotating the backs in and out. It's the frigging M*A*S*H unit of an offensive line. It affects the QB. It affects the RBs. We're hanging on by a thread against a first rate program deep with talent. I hate the blowout. I am hopeful about the future.
 
No, tired of you putting yourself on constant display as a jackass though.

I mean, why have Wilbon come in for a 9 yard gain just to take him out and get our slowest RB in for a pitch? Can you explain this to me Jimmy Frank or do you want to just constantly bitch at everything I have to say on a message board? You must have me on follow or something just to chime in something off topic.

I like the demeanor of Riley compared to Bo, sure. Seems like a nice guy. But what exactly did he do at Oregon State to earn a job here? Banker looks like the next Cosgrove. He's recruiting pretty well, I guess we're in on some high guys, but does that mean we'll get them?

Wilbon got 9 yards against OSU. Comes out. Pitch to Oz. Tommy scramble and gets hurt. RB rotation and playcalling played a huge factor in us losing our leader. At that point it was 24-3 and looked like it was about to be 24-10.

In this thread you admit OSU's talent but in the other thread don't think we can use that as an explanation for what is happening.

Anyone else tired of rotating complaints from OP?

Sorry. Part of me wants to believe we're getting better and things will be okay in the next few years. That's the superfan in me. The realist in me sees some big flaws that have yet to be fixed after almost 2 years.

winning the games you're supposed to win is a step in the right direction whether you want to admit it or not. We have won every game we were supposed to win.

Tonight is maddening. But our offense has done nothing to help our defense tonight... after tonight we will still be 7-2. Last year after 9 games we were 3-6. And we aren't getting better? Ok.
 
I agree with the OP. It's nice for a RB to get into a flow. That's not why we lost. The flood gates opened early and we didn't have a response. Then Tommy got hurt and our minds were not in the game. We just wanted it over! I don't think OSU is 50 points better than us. We just couldn't our feet back under us after falling behind.
