[Husker] NU-Ok (fwd)

[huskerguy9495 at aol.com]

 Low rushing yardage is due to very poor execution by the offensive line. We are struggling to control the line of scrimmage in virtually every game this year. This has always been the key to winning/dominating in the past. We have young talent at the skill positions--but our offensive line can't create the holes on a consistent basis, or stop the pass rush from the left side of the o-line.

Might coaching and game plan have some to do with this performance?
