No.
Singleton needs time to develop. He is super talented but all flash, not unlike most highly rated true freshmen. Given him a year. He needs to add some good weight to his frame. He needs to learn how to block, something he has never done before. He needs to learn how to catch and run routes. So long as he puts the work in, he'll be fine in time. We are asking a heck of a lot out of a kid who likely got away with on talent alone in high school. In a previous era, he wouldn't have seen the field for two years. Remember that.
Not to mention in a previous era, he would have had an OL in front of him.
On #3 what is an OC supposed to do, with a horrendous QB and an avg. OL?
I have said for weeks that 13 is the better RB right now. Much of the reason is because of the competition he played with and against at IMG. He had to learn the nuances of the position
Incorporate a run into the playbook that isn’t a delayed handoff out of shotgun. Scheme up some runs to take advantage of the RBs’ strengths and the opponent’s weaknesses. Situationally rotate backs so that Allen or Lee can be in for short yardage scenarios.
Well since the OL blocked reasonably well on pass plays perhaps he might want to consider passing on early downs rather than running a predictable off tackle run on first down for little or no gain right after the defense held Michigan to FGs twice and was on the field the whole first quarter. He also might want to consider designed roll out pass plays like Michigan did yesterday. This ain’t rocket science.
We do go under center and do what you suggest.
Can't blame the freshmen rbs,they need to be placed in a position to succeed. Northwestern wrote the playback on how to defend our running game; stack the box and force Clifford to pass. Our passion g game takes too long to develop. Need shorter quicker routes. Slants to the tight ends would help. Players play the game but the coaches had two weeks to fix our weakness and didn't. What adjustments did you see from the first half to the second half? This is on the coordinators and coaches.
Why do we always blame the coaches when the team performs poorly? Heck they just recruited the players, instruct them in developmental techniques, are responsible for motivation, game preparedness and call the plays and formations. So surely we must continue to search elsewhere for the original culprits whomever they may be.
Yep...he does go down too easily...was apparent early in the season when he was getting all the kudos for his breakaway TD's. Good example is one of his KO returns Sat...UM kid just reached out with what looked like a feeble arm tackle and down he went. Shouldn't be that way...he's 6-0 and 220.
None of which has much to do with the fact that when he's one-on-one with a defender, an arm tackle will bring him down every time.
