Message: [QUOTE="All4SU, post: 5317670, member: 381"] When HCFB was hired he said, “We will run the ball, and we will stop the run.” In year 1, with McCord behind center, SU was a pass first team. The running game was okay, in that Allen was very good. But whether it was the blocking or the play calls or the RBs or whatever, we were not a “we can run the ball team.” We did run well at times. We were opportunistic. And I think Nixon found ways to work around our shortcomings. We did not stop the run. I suspect with McCord moving on, we will move closer to what Fran said early on. Emphasis will be on the run game. OL will game plan differently. SU may prioritize QB play that is dual threat. This is all speculation, obviously. But I don’t think Fran was trying to deceive. They just shaped the O to McCord’s unique talents. Next year… well next year is next year. [/QUOTE]
