Plus, we had stopped better running teams all year with 7 guys in the box.
I don't think any other SEC team we played runs the ball the way they do. They use so much misdirection that you need an extra guy in the box from the start. With as bad as they had been passing the ball, we should have wanted them to do it more.

My guess is that he wanted to try and bait them into doing the same thing in the second half thinking that it would still work, and then bring the extra man in the box to completely f their second half gameplan up.
