I do wonder how much he is doing this to improve Fitz for later. but mostly i see that as wishful thinking, he's just who he is. he cannot stand to win a game by running the ball.
We can only run it so much in the SEC without some balance. Teams will stack 8-9 guys in the box like they did with Jackie. There's not a lot we can do to duct tape it right now. If we give Kylin more touches realistically that's only going to help so much. Using two backs and using a TE or two TE set is only going to help us so much. That is about all of our realistic options right now at least against elite teams.
Dan's play calling and personnel groupings will work fine against lesser SEC teams. Hopefully Grantham helps us out and gets us a couple of more wins because that was the issue at least in the Arkansas game where we scored a lot of points but we gave up a ton too.
