In the SEC, you still have to run the ball....

[Cooterpoot]

I get the frustration, but I believe being able to pass is the only way we can compete for the West within the foreseeable future. It's the only way.

So, while yes I understand that we're a historically running team, it's been proven time and time again that the ceiling of that style of play with the talent we're capable of getting, is a 9-3 to 8-4 type program. While that's certainly solid, we can always return to that, but it's pertinent that we at least try to take this thing to the next level

While it may not work, I believe the vision of developing into a passing team is the right thing to do no matter how painful it may be on the way there.

Name the teams that have won the west other than AL since 2010. Tell me how many of those were a pass first team. Because none were (LSU last year?) This idea that passing will beat AL is exactly what I was talking about. Go look at how many teams have thrown the ball more than 40 times and beat AL in that time frame and then tell me passing is how it's done. It's fake damn news! And the real problem is WE WILL NEVER CONSISTENTLY BEAT AL EVER!!!
