Message: [QUOTE="PhatOrange, post: 367452, member: 229"] one frustrating thing for me with Minny, and we're seeing it now with Iowa, is they're just running it down their throats. We did to in the first and then we got cute with some bizarre down and distance play calling. Jerome Smith had 6 carries for 52 yards in the first half against Minny and then only carried 3 times in the second half for 0 yards. And those 3 carries were the goal line series. I thought we should have run the ball more and took advantage of the way Smith was tearing them up. For some reason we went away from the run and my feeling was the staff was starting to panic and felt we needed to throw the ball. A lot of those 3 and outs were from passing to much, we had too many 3rd and longs from what I remember. [/QUOTE]
