We came into the game with a huge size advantage on the offensive line. All the talking heads had us pushing the ASU front around to the tune of a couple hundo. Then the whistle blue and our line kindly got punched in the mouth for 4.5 quarters.
At the end of the day we had 23 rushes for 54 yards. So what went wrong? Why were we not able to run the football? Let's take a look and see if we can get to the bottom of it.
So we just punched ASU in the mouth. Twice. Here we are feeling all good about ourselves, thinking this was going to be a route. We cockily stroll out there in 11 personnel. Banks and Goosby handle their men. Even Conner and Campbell are holding up well and Majors fires to the second level. Behind him come Helm who helps with Campbell's man and also releases to the second level. Majors gets a decent block but Helm doesn't get anyone and the guy who he would've gotten ends up making the tackle. Regardless, ASU has 7 in the box vs 6 blockers, so they were always gonna have a hat free. Helm needs to come off his block sooner to be in position to block. At most he needed to chip as Campbell had a solid handle on his man. If Helm gets that block its just Wisner and a single tackler in the hole and he has a chance. One of the things we will see a lot of is loaded boxes with ASU.
