    A running game will help that out. Defenses knew we were not going to try and run it on them every other down. Defenses also started doing a lot of delayed LB blitzes on Will too. Will isn't going to see a lot of heavy zone now either. I really believe the problem with Will was just the Air Raid offense in general. Leach was putting a lot on his shoulders.

    My only concern about the run game is that it is going to take some time to get our OL used to running the damn ball. I think it is easier than transitioning to passing the ball non-stop, but still it will be a transition.

    It's not going to be that hard. It was harder teacher our OL to pass block for the Air Raid. This is back to basic fundamental football with regular splits and traditional sets. This is stuff most of these guys ran in high school. It's not going to be this massive transition. My prediction is we see a pretty big jump in offensive proficiency after the first couple of games, more so than with the Air Raid.
