Why have we stopped throwing the ball so much?

Did you see an improvement on 3rd down since the change?

Because for the first time in many years we actually have a good coach who adapts to his personnel and adjusts based on the opponent. Running between the tackles was leading to a lot of 3rd and longs which is not a good situation for Rozier to be in. The last two weeks Richt did a great job of taking what the defense gave him. I hope he continues with that type of gameplan. It also helps that Donaldson is back.
 
A lot of those QB runs are RPOs. Designed draw in some cases, sure, but in others, it's a read. A good one quite a bit, too.
 
Note on the Irish's interpretation of stats. On their board they are touting the fact that they only gave up as many yards as their season average. They don't acknowledge the obvious. It your opponent is always starting with a short field, they will never need to get alot of yards.
