Look - this isn't hard. The reason we looked so good against A&M and Arkansas is that we ran the ball, which created passing lanes for Will.
We had 7 designed runs the entire game.
S-E-V-E-N
That is ridiculous I'm not a huge Time of Possession guy, but they had the ball 40 minutes to our 20. They had 73 plays to our 47.
We cannot win football games if we only run it 7 times. People can talk about Kentucky and their run game, but we did this to ourselves.
Will is going to look average to below average if we give him zero run game. The big issue is that he threw it 37 times for 203 yards which is just awful.
I'm really just bummed out because I really thought we had turned a corner in the run game and that Leach had figured something out. It is possible Arkansas and A&M are just not good.
Finally, we have to find some depth in the front seven. I swear that Wheat, Johnson and Watson didn't come out all game. It is not surprising that they wore down. We have to develop some depth.
