Absolutely right. There were times it was 7 on 5 in there. You're not going to win that battle. It's a scheme thing, not a talent thing (at least not against Colgate). Babers and Co. took the other options.

There will be teams on the schedule who are not afraid to face us one on one up the middle and on the edges (Louisville probably being one of them). If you have better athletes on defense, you're not going to be afraid to match us up one on one all over the field. That's where this offense shines, in finding those mismatches and letting our athletes play. You run the pace, you score your points, you hope the defense can't keep up in the 2nd half, and you win the game.

If things work the way they're supposed to. Talent will still trump us the next couple of years, but there's a time in the not so distant future where better talent + this scheme is going to put us in the conversation against just about any team in the country. Sounds a lot like the mobile QB + SU's option in the late 80s to mid 90s to me.
