From what I see, Mount Union does not possess the All-American player that it is used to having on both sides of the ball.  Dartt, Kappas, and Bruney, all played with these types of players and benefitted from their presence.  They are seemingly coaching and play calling like these types of players are on the field and they are not.  I believe they have to change their mind set to player development to bring the players they have to their highest potential. This is what LK did in early days before he started to get the cream of the crop. All-American players are motivating to other teammates to get better, I don't see that at the moment. As I see it, and I am no expert by any means, I think player development, and finding a few gems in the rough, is the path forward.

My biggest concern is that Maloney seems to throw into coverage quite often this year. I'm not sure if the reads are different or what's going on, but he seems to force a lot of passes to receivers who are not open.

I've also heard that when Burke came in, he completely changed the terminology of the offense.

Obviously that's his right to do as an offensive coordinator, but I would think he would want to adjust his scheme to what was working and just tweak things.

But maybe he thought it needed a total reset.

I could see the desire for a reset.

However, and call me impatient or ignorant if you will, but this offense is, so far, even less imaginative and effective as the previous one - no small task to accomplish.

The only redeeming thing this season will be when the big bad mighty Yellow Jackets come rolling into Alliance with the highest of expectations and swagger only for them to remember they're Baldwin Wallace and ultimately pee down their legs and choke away a playoff spot.
