Predictable but led to one of the best running offenses in the country last year. So, who ******* cares?

If the other team knows it's coming and can't stop it who cares?

Bama under Saban was going to run right at you behind their stud OL. Everyone knew who was getting the ball and where it was going - very predictable. No one could consistently over the course of 4 quarters stop what they knew was coming.

Makes too much sense for them to understand bro, guarantee you if we lose yards tryna run outside on crucial plays they’ll be on here *****ing about it lol 😂

You saw the graphic last night. 76% of our run plays last year were between the tackles 2nd in the nation (only to Army? I think?).

No reason to believe this year will be any different.

And I really do question that 76%. I think its more 85%.

37 rush attempts and only 2 TFLs against a top 10? Top 5? defense. That's how you manage the chains against a high end defense that last played in the national championship.

We have some people here whose whole football worldview is Madden and CFB 26.

You're right though there's a growing portion in the fan base just looking to ***** about anything. Simply miserable *****

Same dude who ran a toss play to Devon Achane on 3rd & inches & promptly lost 8 yards

Regardless they still have had a very productive running game with a poor OL and no real blue chip RB. Give him this OL and our RBs and you would have one of the best running games in college football.
 
Play action, TE releases straight up the middle. Lofton had a TD last night if Beck sees him. Run Lyle and Pringle off tackle some. Dawson won't do it though. He is an average OC. This conservative, play not to lose crap, will come back to bite us. It almost did last night. I hate it. It's weak, scared, ***** football. We have a good QB. Let him sling it

If we had any flavor in the run game we win by 21+ and they never stop us.

Hope it’s in our bag for later. (I know it’s not)

A jet sweep to Marion, Toney, or even Lofton would have broken for 50+ multiple times last night because they crashed and sold out right up the gut

Bro, it's so frustrating we never run outside the tackles

Bingo

I posted in another thread on this very topic.

Roman on the OBB pod said they exact same things



You’ve got dumbass fans that never played and dont know ball respond with “our OL is the best we don’t need creativity”

The predictable run game was shut down in the 2H….. we saw this last year too…. And our lead was quickly squandered

the sample size for Dawson being stubborn versus saving plays for big games is growing and it concerns me

I was just waiting for a 3rd and short play action. There were so many times that a tight end leaking out over the middle would have gone for huge yards.

It's crazy to me that they hyped Lofton up all offseason and he got one catch on one target last night.

In a game where we were struggling to move the ball consistently.

Apparently he's been dealing with an injury; maybe that played into his limited role this week?

Same goes for JoJo

We have shown other run plays besides duo like counter, power, etc. we have pulled guards and Cici, but do you want 6'6 320 pound monsters moving laterally or moving forward?

Do you want to run soft zone reads or use your big monsters upfront bullying the guys across from you?

Now, I do agree incorporating some jet sweeps with Marion and Toney will be nice wrinkles but that'll come. I think when going against a top defense you look to minimize negative plays and keep ahead of the sticks as much as lossible

It’s funny but we aren’t the only team with a bunch of 350 lb Oilmen and somehow most of them figure out a way to run wide every now and then not every YEAR or so…

The key to this running game is that we avoid negative plays and convert short-yardage. We never put Beck in 2nd and 12 and Cam was the same way last year. It’s a QB-friendly run game.

And we still can move the ball (top 5 YPC last year and outrushed Notre Dame last night).
