I have been dying to be woke and use the word “pivot”, so I figured I make the debut here.
Spot on. Even though it's talked about relentlessly on social media, we don't need to move away from the 3-4, just like we don't need to move away from the shield punt, just like we don't need a new offense. Our coaches need to coach better, our players need to execute better. There's dozens of examples of our schemes working, and dozens of examples of our schemes failing.As I mentioned just recently in another thread, the problem isn't our X's and O's, it's our execution. Don't fumble. Don't false start. Don't miss a block because you forgot your assignment. Don't snap high because you started off in a bad position over the ball when you lined up. Don't take a sack when you could throw it away. Dont throw a pick just to avoid a sack. Improve on those things, and our point production takes a huge step forward.

Why could that be argued? I watched Indiana and Purdue go 3-1 against us doing essentially the exact same scheme. I watch Ohio State execute just fine.Well, it could be argued that it can't be executed consistently, and at a high level because of the scheme itself.. I am not saying that is the reason, just saying that could be argued.
I tend to believe because of the schemes, the coaches are not doing a good job of teaching it.
Yes the offense needs to pivot. They should go North/South and stop going East/West.
My issue with the offense is we try to run the same offense as other teams but we will never have the same level of talent. we would have more success trying to mirror Wisky and Iowa but I digress..
