Play calling gets very strange in the redzone. We've been asking the same question for two years now.
Reminds me of Sean Payton. The "I'm smarter than all of you so see if you can stop my creative red zone offense." Over think and over complicate.

It goes both ways. One drive it is way overcomplicated, trickery crap, the next it is every play right up the middle.

Everyone points to the play calling, but really the Oline has simply underperformed in red zone and short yardage for the last two season. They can't get tough yards. That causes odd play calling.

It seems that this has been the case for 2 season now. I honestly what some of you guys analytical take on the situation.
from my armchair this is what I see:
Gus tries to get too cute in the redzone. The first drive against MSU, a freshman making a first game mistake of throwing across his body fizzled us out.
Second drive, the offense had great momentum and Gus let off, subbed in JJ to run up the middle and in turn Mullen called timeout. Then the offense cooled off and had a poor snap after they thought too long. had White stayed in the game, Mullen most likely doesn't call a timeout and we shove it in the end zone.
Another drive, Malzahn tried some bullshite cutesy fake statue of liberty reverse play with a blitz on and we took a big sack to give us a field goal.
malzahn goes brain dead in the red zoned and gets away from what got them there. Barber is a beastly back that can pound the rock between the tackles yet we try to do bizarre stuff down at the goal. We also lack a true jumbo package with stacked tight ends or an extra lineman.
