Message: [QUOTE="suloyalfan, post: 1179054, member: 397"] Run defense is a weakness for NC State, Duke, and Pittsburgh (our next 3 games), so focusing on that area of the offense would not be a bad recipe for success. Obviously, we'll need some form of passing game to keep each team honest, but we should use our running game to control the game. Versus only FBS competition, here is how our next 3 opponents break down: Duke Rushing Defense #98, 202.67 ypg Passing Defense #34, 207.0 ypg Pittsburgh Rushing Defense #73, 173.86 ypg Passing Defense #14, 184.9 ypg Boston College Rushing Defense #8, 102.14 ypg Passing Defense #51, 220.6 ypg Note that total yards for Pittsburgh and Boston College are both low because they are both running teams and burn a lot of clock (so naturally, less plays typically equals less opportunity for yardage for both teams). Boston College is #22 in time of possession and Pittsburgh is #26. [/QUOTE]
