We will never win big with this run scheme

People forget against UF we ran off tackle quite a bit which opened up the inside. We ran off tackle 2x last night. One time for 6 and then Toney for 12. To make matters worse we kept trying the bubble screen even though they had numbers against it.

The poney package with a RB being a lead blocker for other back worked well against UF and ND. Didn’t see it vs fsu or Louisville
 
That saddest part, the part that has me deflated, like I cant even be so upset about this loss, is the fact that deep down I know Mario wont change **** with the run scheme.

Its been an issue since hes been here with Gattis. Can the run game work? Yes, its possible. But its a scheme that just makes everything so much harder. Nothing comes easy. So the margin of error is tiny.

And thats why we will continue having losses to teams we should be beating.

I apologize. The board is insufferable after a lose..

Our run scheme and our run game are two separate things.

Our scheme is meant for BALL CONTROL. Mario wants to 'pound the rock' and wear down a defense. We see this when we are 'pushing the pile'. Im not saying I agree. Im just stating a fact

Our run game is the actual production. And, while we aren't averaging 9 ypc, I do think we've had some production. But, eventually, teams will adjust and bring a safety down for run support. We saw FSU do this with Little (#0). This is why the flea flicker was a perfect call

I dont expect us to have explosiveness gashes like we saw Issac Brown do to us also night. Maybe, that's why I don't see our run game as being disappointing all season. I expect us the get 4-7 a carry and work our way downfield. And, I only expect this from watching previous games and trying to understand our gameplan.

I'm not sure what you have watched all year, but we have been abysmal in the run game. Prior to the FSU and VILLE game we were averaging 4.1 YPC, which was good for 71st in the country. We are now averaging 3.8 YPC, which is good for 91st in the country. And we have only faced one rush D in the top 25, which is FSU at 20.

Again, when the D knows exactly what we are running, it doesn't matter the hogs you have up front, it's simply a numbers game and Mario/Mirabal with there caveman approach put us at a disadvantage weekly.
 
The pass game isn't it either. We came in to the Ville game 7th in Offense in the ACC. We looked like it. We chose to deploy wrs that cant separate outside. This is the U. We have always had explosive wrs who can win on at least 2 levels of the D. We are sluggish. Ville made so many tackles in space one on one. That's a sign your of your skill players being very regular. We have become slot wr U with no difference makers on the perimeter.

And how would that look? Run up the middle 3 straight times instead of two????

The RUN GAME STINKS. IT NEEDS TO CHANGE.

We ran the ball 18 times with our backs and threw 35 times. That’s not our game and it hasn’t been how we won games.
