Our OL is absolutely dreadful at anything other than basic pass protection. When they have to run block and do something that requires something other than blocking the guy in front of them, they fail miserably. This has been consistent through many linemen and several years now, which tells me they have poor coaching in that regard.
So if Josh can't run the ball effectively, of course he's going to go with what he knows will work, which is the KW offense. As much as we loathe the predictability of it, it puts up points and yards. Nothing is going to change until Patton is gone.
