I said this elsewhere...Fromm threw 51 times because of the game, a game that went to 2 OT. We had 2-3 late drives to end the quarter/regulation. You're not running the ball then, you have to pass due to time. It was like 15-18 passes if i remember correctly that were thrown because we were chasing points. If we execute earlier in the game, we're not in that position and we don't have to throw--but we did and Fromm with his passing drove us down to score to tie and give us a chance.

Do I think we could be more creative in the run? Sure. It does seem we're more of a hat on a hat scheme as of late rather than doing any pulling with guards or scheming to create cut back lanes for our backs. But the musical chairs of lineman isn't helping us. Guys are chipping expecting help and letting guys go free. Guys are whiffing. Guys are getting beat.

We're winless when Fromm throws is more than 30 times typically because we're chasing points. I don't think we've ever said at the start of the game, Fromm here's the keys go throw it around. It's typically we get behind and then have no choice. That may be a combination of his poor performance early (ie. LSU) or it may be because of the flow of the game where we have no time and have to run 2 minute where you run 11 plays, 9 being pass.

Nor should we, because that's not who he is. I like Fromm as a guy and a leader, but he's not the QB so many here think he is. He missed a wide open Swift for a TD that wins the game. If he saw the field as well as everyone thinks he does, that doesn't happen. He's not that kind of QB. He's good when the parts around him are working well. He has to work within the system. People hate it when I say that, but the truth hurts.

Nobody offensively performed well Saturday, and that goes double for Coley.
