That might be the dumbest thing i've seen posted on this board and that is saying something.

Maybe. I looked at the #1 total offense (Tenn) in a contested game (bama). Tenn took the lead on their last drive, so they didn't run the ball to use clock. The final breakdown was 39 runs to 31 rushes... this is 55.7% run heavy. Tenn on the year was 55.3% run heavy

I'm not doing that for them all.

That's very much a vaccum.

No doubt to this. As I've stated in other posts, Ole Miss looks like the NFL or MLB team that just buys players to be buying them with no rhyme or reason. These team usually have zero chemistry and never win squat.

#4 ucla, #6 Oregon, #8 OM, and #10 FSU were not pass first teams that salted out wins running the ball. They were run first teams

Yeah there's a reason every head coach from Saban to nfl say you have to be able to run the ball and stop the run. Being able to do both is critical to being consistently succesful

We led the country in pass attempts, but we finished #62 in total offense. We were 79th in yds/play

I dont think Tulu is leaving. My personal opinion

That would be big

One dimensional just makes you easier to defend.

There's truth in there somewhere. Based on that set of data, coaches were not throwing the ball enough. Defense was spending too many resources to stop the run making the pass more viable. Now if you go to the other extreme, Leach offense, defenses are spending most of their resources stopping the pass which is why our shotgun draw play was so effective.

I think the happy medium is probably somewhere around 65% passing, but its more about taking what the defense is giving and to KB21s point, most of the time that's a pass.

Deleting his announcement is a good sign I would think.

Yep! Plus it's a stretch at best to say that a team that runs it 55% of the time is "run heavy" when they're really balanced.

An offense should not be built around the ground game at all.

I think it is all relative. To the air raid, 55% run is run heavy. But most of the not crazy about air raid O folks have only called for a balanced approach and air raid folks go to extremes and think if you don't throw it 85% then you want to go back to wishbone.

I hope we can get back to some common sense balance on O, it appears that is the direction.

I've always hated that quote. 3 things can happen and 2 of them bad when you run too. Loss of yards, gain yards, fumble.

I think it comes down to making the defense defend the whole field regardless of approach. Advanced metrics favor the pass because most teams spend to many resources defending the run.

I like a pass 'heavy' offense, but I'd rather eat a life jacket than throw against a 3-5 man box again.
