JT Barrett apparently said after the game that Sparty was taking away the deep passes by playing off.  If this is all that it took to force the offense to go one dimensional and not even try to attempt to establish a passing game, what does it say about Cardale's struggles earlier in the season?  Zeke's comments seem like they were right on the money in that this team was never given a chance to succeed offensively.  And not just tonight, but on the season as a whole.
