I don't think any of us expect much, but it is still disappointing to witness. We had one week of tape on Hawaii and will now have one week on Indiana. I don't think we can patch up our offensive line in two weeks.
We had 38 official pass attempts to 20 rush, but 7 of those were by Garbers who is not a dual-threat QB and none of those runs were planned (e.g., qb draws or bootlegs). So that leaves 13 carries for our running backs for a dismal 24 yards. Take away Keegan Jones' long run of 11 yards and the backs had 13 yards on 12 carries. HBCU Delaware St. had two backs combine for 100 rushing yards against Hawaii.
Bieniemy is either not committed to the run or he found out very early that this offensive line cannot get any push against Hawaii. This portends to a one-dimensional offense, which is a major concern.
