FSU chose to go all out to stop the run and they paid the price in the passing game. Run game will be fine

only if the center moves over to the end of the Oline cause we are going to run up his butt ( pause) one way or the other...

Lyle needs carries. He looked hesitant to me when he got the ball. Hopefully just some rust from being out for a month. ACC play should provide him reps especially against weaker opponents.

Just like last year when they sold out to stop the pass. Great teams can stop both, at least enough to get the job done. Average teams, like FSU, have to sell out to stop one or the other. They can stop one, but they have to hope the other team shoots themselves in the foot. You know, like FSU thinks they do.

Nah.
He's the most gifted RB we have, and we need him to be our best when it matters.

Nothing personal but I’ve been reading this for like 3 years now
Anyone ever consider we run tight splits and keep things between the tackles and give our OL help from the TEs because we actually aren’t a great run blocking OL?
Or do we think Mirabal and Mario are elite coaches that also don’t know the strengths and weaknesses of their OL and have Dawson consistently call plays that go against what we are good at?

My genuine answer is we want to stay ahead of the sticks at all costs and try to avoid holds and tackles for loss. But against a team with equal to better or talent than us, I truly believe moving the football will be a struggle. We are just too easy to defend on a lot of downs. Just my 2 cents

That’s fair. I don’t know what the answer is specifically
But do we really think Dawson/Mario/Mirabal have never discussed this?
I just constantly read about how great MM are at coaching OL and they’ve got their fingerprints on the offense but yet in 3 years no one has ever said “maybe we should run it outside?”
If people like us feel that then are they just not good coaches?
Seems you can’t have it both ways to me

I agree with OP, IMO it was a big risk putting a guy who's sat almost all year in that spot when you have bulldozers that have been doing well.

He’s one of our 2 fastest backs yes that’s true. But I think We gotta stop saying he’s our most gifted back. Fletcher has shown that imo
