Not trying to be combative, really trying to understand where you are coming from. What makes you believe that Milroe would have been successful with the way the OL played yesterday? Every issue Simpson had, holding the ball, not reading the rush, taking sacks that were avoidable, etc. were evident from Milroe the week before. Why would he have been better yesterday with the line play arguably worse than they did vs. Texas?

Because they were killing us on speed rushes around the tackles and you can’t do that against Milroe because it creates running lanes.

To speed rush Milroe around the end, you have to use a LB spy, so 5 guys. If you bring a 4 man rush with no spy, you have to mush rush.

That’s why the OL looked worse yesterday than against Texas. USF didn’t have to worry about rush lane integrity or getting beat over the top. Their 220lb rushers were just getting upfield as fast as they could and our 360lb tackles couldn’t keep up.
