Can't rely on pure speed against quality defenses, as they typically have the speed to counter it otherwise we would of just had Schwartz run deep all year.

I think they tried this but two things happened, 1. the offensive line couldn't block and 2. they tried it with Slayton instead of Schwartz. 81 was constantly over or under thrown all year.

I realize the success was against Purdue but there were points in every one of our games that were very close. Was the difference really the opponent (Purdue) or a good focused, positive week of practice and Gus returning to form?
