and we would still lead the country in passing play percentage by 4%.
We have faced the same defense 7 weeks in a row. We are dead last in the country in rushing yards per game. Dead freaking last against a 3 man front.
Are there people on this board that don't think Leach needs to adjust his scheme? Just trying to find some common ground here.
At Washington State in 2018 the Minshew year, they had 5 100+ yard running games.
I'm not exactly sure why we aren't running it more & maybe more importantly, why we aren't having more success running it, but I think running it more is the goal
I think it's obvious to every state fan that we need to run the ball more. I just don't know if Leach will do it or not. I'm afraid that 3 years from now we'll be hiring another spread/run coach and we'll get to start all over again building what Mullen built. That's my fear.
In 2018, Wazzou ran the ball 29% of the time while we currently run it 22% of the time.
Again, I'd have to think the 2018 Wazzou ratio is what we're shooting for, but I haven't a clue as to the variables that are currently preventing it
He's run the ball more in the past & he'll run it more here. I'm just not sure what variables are involved that are causing this.Quote:

Yeah clearly our effectiveness in running the ball isn't good.Quote:

We aren?t rushing because we?re stuffed nearly every run or gain a measly 2 or 3 yards.. it?s not enough to make teams adjust to us like everybody is thinking they will.
He's never seen the 3-8 exclusively every single game like he is this year. And he hasn't countered.Quote:

Hopefully this can be fixed in the spring.
It's probably why I'm more pissed at Leach than I ever was with Moorhead. Moorehead should have never been hired to run an SEC program. There was nothing Moorhead could do.Quote:

It's been said traditional splits have not hurt the air raid passing game while helping the run game. So why won't Leach adjust? Hubris, stubbornness, i would like to know. I wish one of our beat reporters was skilled enough to get an answer.Quote:

The pass/run ratio needs a small adjustment imo.
We'll see what Leach does going forward. It cannot be overstated how bad our O-Line sucked this year - pass blocking and run blocking.
Are you sure about that?Quote:

We got 50 less yards than their average per game against a prevent D
You do realize a 3-8 doesn't mean that the defense flies out into the secondary at the snap of the ball right.Quote:
