Gus needs to go, but this doesn't really bother me.

CFB is changing again. Greatest sport ever invented. 100 yards long, and 53 1/3 yards wide. The only stat that matters is wins. Didn't we have a 1000 yard rusher in a blowout IB loss, when we had to run one more play? Jerry Reed posted :(

The offense has been "a work in progress" for the past 2+ years.

well, if we intend to not run our RBs into the ground, this will be a more difficult feat.

You can't expect to consistently have constant thousand-yard rushers, plus fresh RBs that rotate, plus a balanced offense. Gotta pick which one you value. I personally like that we're rotating backs more.

I want to grind them into oblivion. Why sign great running backs if we never get to use them and save them for the NFL???

Yes run them into the ground that’s how you recruit other great running backs

Anyone remember when the offense could get you 4 yards by running the ball straight at the defense? 2 plays of 3-4 yards leaves you with a short third down. We don’t have that because we’re running plays I ran in intramural football.

We literally had that against UGA and we quit running the ball

Meanwhile Burrow threw for 500 yards and they had a 150 yard rusher same game.

What's strange is in that Georgia game, Bo threw 50 passes with very little pressure and I think only 2 sacks, and one of them was his fault.

So the OL played well in the passing game, but I really didn't see much push in the run game, which is not surprising giving GA had the best run defense in the conference.

But to not have a running game(consistent one) is hurting our overall offense.

we gained 3 to 4 yards pretty much every attempt. OL played great no matter what the idiots on this board say

And then you have to convert 5+ third downs to have a successful drive and you get stopped once.

15 of 36 runs were less than 3-4 yards. Not really "pretty much every attempt".

Gus is an offensive genius.

Wait until he lights up Stanford with a whirly bird and a flea flicker.

Yeehaw!

Unfortunate but I think a lot of this is due to Whitlow’s injuries more than anything else. Rushing as a feature of the offense has also dropped quite a bit
