Herbert is as good as advertised.
In 1938 Neville Chamberlain declared "Peace in our time", Superman first appeared in Action Comics, Seabiscuit beat War Admiral ....... and C.a.l last won the Rose Bowl.

As CTCard has noted, we don't run Power as much any more.
The issue is our offensive line is not nearly as good as we thought it was going to be, which is really sad because we have the players for a great line.

I'm not sure about that (certainly not true at running back). The big thing in my mind is that we are getting no pressure. We have one sack, but that was a coverage sack where Herbert should have gotten rid of the ball. Aside from that, Herbert has had a clean pocket. And he's killed us when he's had time to throw.
One the other hand, our offensive linemen are not blocking well. Their defense is getting upfield to disrupt Love. On this last run by Love, the linemen were two yards into the backfield and Love had nowhere to go.
