He had 5 rushes for 4 total yards the first 5 drives of the 2nd half. Given his talent he should get more than 1 rush per drive, even if he isn't getting many yards.

Both Tucker and Shrader can break a long run at any time. I rather have Tucker have 11 zero yard gains and one 40 yard gain than pass it 5-12 40 yards with no completions over 10 yards. The yards per play are the same but with the 40 yard run we have a chance to score. Heck he had 2 big runs in the first half. Why not hope for that to happen over hoping to pass the ball with Shrader, our WRs, our OL, and Clemson's D?

We cannot sustain a drive against Clemson so we needed a big play. That was more likely to come running the ball. Yes, we got the big pass play but that was in desperation and not running our normal O. Plus we got a bit lucky. Even with that big pass play it was 1 play out of 40 called pass plays. Tucker had 22 runs and we got 2 big plays out of it.
