it doesnt work without a running quarterback and a good offensive line.
That was my point all offseason about this team, and that was assuming Johnson would be a good thrower. The counterpoint was always "well what about Tulsa and Chris Todd", which was always strange because Tulsa was in CUSA and Chris Todd really wasn't anything more than pedestrian against better defenses.
Gus needs a really good O-line to make his power play an automatic 3 yards. If he has that and a scary running QB with a huge arm then the defense has to pick between 3 options on each play (a) 3-5 yard dive (b) QB keep run and (c) deep throw to 1-on-1 coverage. It is almost impossible to defend all 3 of those options. 2010 and 2013 were basically the most perfect personnel mash ups Gus could have had.

I think that was what most of us assumed. Little did we know the pick machine that was coming. It was not just that he was below expectations, his throwing actually hurt the team.
Again, do not want to pile on any kid who is playing, and I hope he gets it turned around. I am just afraid he is mentally shot and will not get his confidence back at AU.
