What was going on with our blocking/schemes? It clearly wasn't a talent at RB situation. And I don't have data on this, but goal-to-go situations seemed bad too.

Shit, there were times that our RBs bailed out our line. Recall Love's miraculous Navy TD where he was stopped in the backfield but spun out of the tackle for a TD.

We have what would be objectively considered a very talented offensive line but for whatever reason our run blocking in short yardage leaves a lot to be desired. It baffled me how the defenses get so much penetration on us.
