re: Running game

This coaching staff is stuffing two and three years of bad skill coaching into one year of good coaching. Bobo adjusted his offensive scheme to include the tight ends.

When the offensive line is lacking talent and skill, you roll the QB to buy time. Seconds equal distance in a receiver's route. The problem with the roll out ....you have to drop half of the field.

Hard to run the ball when we don’t stretch the field at all. We threw one deep ball and that was it pretty much

Watch the game again.

There were other plays called for deeper throws, but Bo didn't have that much time to get those off as their D was either blitzhing or simply overpowering our OL.

And on the running game?

Th reason we didn't run the ball more, IS because we were getting 2.5 yards a carry. How many times did we get 1 or only 2 yards on 1st down or sometimes 2nd.

We were most of time in 2nd and longs so what Bobo tried to do was get maybe 4+ from throws to the RBs or to his TEs. He tried some screen plays but their DL blew up our OL too much for Bo to get it to the RBs.

We simply were not going to get breakout gains running the ball on 1st or 2nd downs. check out the pay by play.
