So Urban coached at a Championship level against VA Tech last year? That's is one of the problems with this line of thinking. Teams and coaches do not preform at championship level all the time. And most of these discussions derive from the Egg Bowl loss. But OSU fans were bemoaning same type of things early in the year. It's not we can't improve, including coaching, but certain parts of the criticisms are asinine. The offense it not going to drastically change away from running the QB. That is what lead us to one of the most prolific offenses in SEC history. It has always been the main cog in this offense even before we hired Mullen. Even in their first title at Flordia, Leake and Tebow ran for over 160 times. Leak ran 77 times for 30 yards. A .4 yard average for the season. And people think we should lower what our Top 10 SEC rusher will do significantly? If the offense will run Leak 77 times for 30 yards Dak will get at least 150 rushes. And honestly I think that number would only be because of blowouts against teams we don't anticipate blowing out. I think it will be around 170-180. Less than last year but only by 2-3 rushes per game. And that is because of hopefully and increased passing attack that is succeeding. Still should be around 60-40 rushing to passing.
