To me it looks like we dont run more because we suck at it. We suck at it because we run block for shiite. That is true because we are toi young, beat up, and inexperienced on the Oline.
Excepting one run, what did we average? 2.45 yards per run. oooh! gimme more! Maybe I overapply Occam's razor here, but that truly seems to be the simple answer, and one that Fisher simply doesnt want to say out loud. I mean, can you imagine the hysteria if he said "we dont run more because our Oline sucks right now?"
Sure, Spiller may wiggle one loose after they think we have given up on the run, but in normal play we dont get squat because our OL is getting manhandled. So we try to pass because we can move the ball marginally better until such time as we shoot a hole in our foot by penalty, the dropsies, or by inability to throw the ball with any touch (resulting in deflection, interception, or nore dropsies.)
The defense had a bad half. The oline is awful, and the QB doesnt have tje skillset to make up for a bad line.
On another note, if Wydermyer is going to cry about not being targeted, he needs to catch the darn ball when he is. Put up or shut up.
It also seems like maybe we could use Achane a bit to get to an opening before it closed.

We should have mixed in some called quarterback draws. Hit the gap between 55 and the nose tackle to make 55 slow down his rush.

This is where calling it from the booth, or listening to the guy up there helps. I get listening to your QB face to face. But in Calzadas case Im not convinced he knows what is happening enough to have useful input.

Taking away the long TD run, Spiller and Achane averaged 3.3 yards/carry. With that long run included, our backs averaged 7 yards/carry.
Neither one of those numbers are low enough for me to say, "I guess Zach Calzada is our best chance to win."

Our last two running plays went for 57 yards on a 3rd and 2 and 8 yards on a 1st and 10. So clearly that's the time to give up on the running game.
Had Spiller's big run come in the 1st quarter with frick all happening the rest of the game it might make sense. But that's not what happened. Right as the running game was starting to produce Jimbo decided to put the game in the hands of a kid who is barely connecting on 50% of his passes.

I think Wydermyer is going through the motions until he opts out of the bowl game to prepare for the NFL.
