Adjust how? You have kids that needed game experience and repitition. Not like a microwave you can throw on high for 2 minutes and cook something faster. You commit turnovers, or miss blocks or miss a read then yeah you are gonna look bad, and I am sure the coaches never coached how to do that stuff. Time and experience. And yes sometimes the kid across the line is just more talented or reacts and reads better. Don't pull those hamstrings back tracking on all the negative crap you and others posted on here over the last 4 or 5 weeks after some close losses to tough teams.

Even if this was true, responsibility lies with coaches. Coaching isn't just calling plays.
So maybe he has been playing the best players in their best positions and they occasionally have a miss because they are newer. You just shit can them all when they mess up and we lose a game? They did that to Gervase but he came back this last game and played lights out. Kirk get credit for JJ 3 picks?

For those that don't think play calling had something to do with the OSU game.
Iowa also does a much better job passing QB under center than out of the shotgun. Against NW,out of the shotgun Stanley was 7-15 for 56 yard, 3.73 YPA. In QB under center formations, Stanley was 12-18 for 167 yards, 9.28 YPA. I think it's because we keep the defense honest when we line up pro-set or I formation. The straight drop backs and rollouts have the advantage of keeping the QB's eyes downfield while also keeping the defense guessing for a second. In the shotgun, there isn't much guessing for the defense, just blitz 5 and drop 6.
