I think the OP brings up some fair points.
I am concerned that twice now, our OC has completely abandoned the run game and put the game completely on the shoulders of a RS freshman QB against two great defenses. Both games started strong because we were balanced. Both games their defense adjusted to shut Manziel down, and we refused to counter.
You gotta take what defenses give you. When LSU went to a 3 man front and weren't stacking the box, we kept passing. Lets be honest, at this point, Manziel is an average passer. LSU and Florida dont have to rush more than 4 to contain him. When he can't find a wide open receiver he wants to run and gets sacked or forces it and turns it over.
In that scenario, why in the hell would you stop running the ball with your RB who averaged 6.8 ypc?!?!
Either we are going to learn or we are going to continue to lose.
IMO, our scheme is fine. Yea the turnovers sucked but what do you expect when you put the whole game on a freshman's shoulders? He is going to make mistakes.
Run the fricking ball with your RBs.

The only negative is when playing a physical rushing team your defense is usually on the field most of the game. A few quick stalled drives and the physical team starts having their way with the defense and the clock. One bad game from the offense can be a knock out blow for the season
