They did well enough today for this team to eek out a win, even though it didn't happen, so maybe they'll round into some middling form as the weeks wears on.

This is my hope as well. Actually if they can just be average we can win.  Still cannot for the life of me understand why at the point of attack the defense is swarming to that point most plays. This began after the first half of the Miami game and everyone else has picked up on it. Maybe some kind of tell. Heck my 93 year old mom called the QB run before the TV announcer did.

PS. Rauscher is also our run game coordinator.

Yeah - I think the run calls may have some tells.
How many hands in the ground, backfield alignment, I don't know, but the LBs are firing quick to the intended gap too often for it to have enough ambiguity. They are picking up on something fairly often. 

I recall a breakdown from Lageman in 2022 that revealed how we were lining up in the same look several times in a game but executing different run designs from it. I wonder if that went out the window with some coach that moved on. Or - it seemed like they tried to do this diverse plays from one look bit during the first half of 2023 but executed so poorly they dumbed down the run calls significantly. This year's book doesn't seem to be revealing an especially diverse set of run play designs thus far. 

That's a failure if so. I haven't watched enough all22 this year to feel certain.
