So we should keep running against the best run defense we're going to see when they expect us to run and are stuffing us? Isn't that what people were complaining about when we were stubbornly doing it against a different team (maybe FSU?) earlier in the season? We can't only hand it to Tucker. We just can't. It won't work.

Where were Snrader's runs? They were bottled up. Clemson didn't have to overcommit the way other teams have to stop Tucker, so Shrader didn't have the room he has had, and the players that were spying him were better players than the ones that tried to do in previous games. How many of his runs in previous games came off of called pass plays where he took off after not seeing guys open? He wasn't able to do that against Clemson because they're Clemson.

The WRs have to do what WRs are supposed to do against a defense like Clemson or the offense doesn't work. We're not imposing our will on them by running non-stop. We're not 1995 Nebraska.

Tucker got 22 carries. We didn't lose because he didn't run it enough. We lost because other players need to do better. Scholarship WRs need to catch the ball when it hits their hands.
