I like the run game this year. We are more explosive. Johnson is averaging 6.5 per carry because of those explosive plays. That can help us vs that 104th ranked rushing defense of TAMU. TAMU is giving up 176 yards per game with an average of 4.1 per carry.
However, TAMU is ranked 11th in passing defense efficiency or 10th in passing yards allowed giving up 153 per game.
This makes me smile. That might puzzle some people because it appears they will be able to shut down our passing attack and focus on the run. But that would require us to ignore who they have played.
Sam Houston. Gave up 91 in passing, but gave up 107 rushing.
APP ST. Gave up 134 in passing (had people open only 50% caught). Gave up 181 on the ground.
Miami. Gave up 217 in passing, 175 on the ground. Again, a QB who threw for 50%.
Ark. In a game Ark should have won, 171 on 19 attempted passes completing (63%). and rushed for 244 yards.
Common themes... they are allowing yards on the ground and that their stats vs the pass are padded. And let's face it, they have not faced a real passing offense. Sam Houston is not. App St is not. Miami.. Not really. KJ completed 63% on 19. We are going to throw it 2 times that much and we are going to complete more than 63%.
That's my break down. I believe Leach has shown, if it's there.. he's going to run it. This has a feel of a break out game.
