Talent or coaching or both

Do we have the talent to be a better running team and we just need better coaching? Or is it a lack of talent and OK coaching. We netted almost zero yards runnning between tackles tonight, but we haven't run the ball well for most of the last four games. I notice, however, that after three 58 minutes of Lee being under pressure, sacked and generally stressed by Purdue, the O-line played very well on the final drive. But, for most of the game every lineman was getting beat. My read is it's probably about 70% coaching 30% talent. Better O-line performance might make this a 6-2 team, maybe 7-1. We have a great passing game which would be even better with better O-line play.
