For purposes of this question, I’m just gonna relegate myself to a noob. Forget everything I know, or think I know, about football.

Lots of discussion about our offense and play calling, so here’s what I’m wondering…

I just saw a replay of Vandy running play action on the goal line. Soon as Pavia fakes and rolls out, he hits a wide open guy in back of the end zone. Easy as pie. Also had another guy trailing who was wide open, and just for good measure, he could have tied his shoes and still had room to run it in if he wanted.

Teams are doing this all day every Saturday. Maybe I’m blinded being a Miami fan, but it seems like we rarely if ever run these types of plays. I just mean as a general principle, we don’t seem to build off the playbook to incorporate misdirection, break tendency, or otherwise make moves that aren’t just straight up.

Instead, it’s like we want to do it the hard way. Just like up and be fyzical. Don’t take advantage of expectations or tendencies.

Am I wrong? Is this stuff not in the playbook? Are we trying to prove we have big ****s?

I swear we so rarely change it up. And I don’t think you need a genuine savant playcaller to do these things.

I know this isn’t a novel thought, but help me out, I’m stoopid.

We have, it’s just not Dawson’s thing. What’s more concerning is that the last 2 games “the run” wasn’t there but there’s no attempts to back up the notion. I mean 3 of Franklin’s carries yesterday were within 5 yards of the endzone, of course his YPC will look like crap.

We ran the ball 18 times with our backs but threw it 35. When did we become Wazzu St and TTU?? That’s not who we are and that’s not how we’ve won football games.

All of that is on Dawson.

Mario doesn't like that, he doesn't see it as being a real man. To him you whop the man in front of you and if they overload the box wit more than u can block you work harder.. some will try to discredit but we all know it's true.. that's his mindset and philosophy

Same reason he doesn't like to take a knee, in his head, u are not being a real man.. real men keep running

Also we fell behind 14 points before everyone got to their seats so that dictates the run pass ratio some.. we were down all game, alot of it multiple scores
