Is that what Jones is really saying here?
“We’re going to make a commitment to run him more,” Jones said. “With five games left, every game is a playoff. You just try to change some things up offensively. I think also some of the things our opponents do lend themselves to our quarterback running the football. For our offense to really be effective, our quarterback has to be more of a running threat at times.
“We ran him a little bit more than we have in the past last week. As he continues to prove that he can do that and take care of the football, his role will continue to expand in that regard. “
Jones said the decision to have Legaux run more is not related to his recent passing struggles.
“When we recruit a quarterback we want a thrower first and a runner second,” Jones said. “Being able to throw the football efficiently is a critical element in our offense.”

Get ahead, control the run somewhat (they aren't going to shut it down), and force Cinci to play catch up in the pass game.
SU has shown that it can play from behind and stay in it and win (at times). And we have seen what they can do with a two score lead. Love to see it again.
