I give Tom Dienhart a lot of credit for being brutally honest with this one. I actually think he was kind in giving the overall offense a C-. The one thing I would add is that O'Connell is completely indecisive on when to run with the ball. In the current college football landscape, a QB at least has to be somewhat mobile to take pressure off of the running backs and wide receivers. If the safeties and linebackers know your QB is no threat to run, they can have a field day, which is what happened. We are now 11th in scoring offense in the Big Ten.
