Sorry. I was going to leave but this dumb and simplistic. The play book and blocking are 100% married.

If no matter what your spouse does, you do the same thing, than you're marriage is probably F;ed. Yes, when its working great, it works, but when trouble sets in, it doesn't matter.

Its the same thing with the playbook. Yes, the playbook ALWAYS matters. In fact, it matters more than the blocking.

Its why there are phrases such as "scheme a guy open" and why offenses invented draws, going on 2, moving the pocket, all designed to help an offensive line, The playbook always matters.

ESPECIALLY at Iowa State where you are not going to be able to line up and simply whip the other guys ass for 4 quarters physically on a regular basis.

Wrong.

You can have the best offensive coordinator in the game playing the calls, but if the OL can't block it doesn't matter. If the OL can't give the QB a few seconds to get set and read the defense and find its openings it doesn't matter what routes his receivers are running - he won't have time to find them. And we've already seen this season how much our running game doesn't exist due to the fact that the OL can't run block.

Case in point - this offensive play right before the end of the half Becht had absolutely no time to do anything with that play.

That's the worst fumble call ever. These refs need to be fired.
