Because everybody (except Mike Leach apparently) knows you have to be able to run the ball in this league.
Bo Bounds is the worst at this. He had Freeze on the other day and tried to bait him into agreeing with him about the myth of a balanced offense, which Leach is known for mocking. Freeze responded "Well, we sure want to have the appearance of a balanced offense to keep defenses on their toes." Radio silence after that response ...loved it.
