Message: [QUOTE="HtownOrange, post: 1549925, member: 622"] Lester is a run first guy, as is Shafer. Both miss the obvious point that the Dome is built for speed. They also miss the fine point that if you can't use the run to set up the pass, do the opposite! That worked great. Mahoney would pass a few times and then we'd get a big run. Running on the first two downs of every set of downs every time makes the kids too easy to defend. Overall, the mix should be roughly 50-50, with the balance shifting to whichever the opposition is weaker at defensing. I love these coaches but if they are not willing to change the offense, maybe they do need to go. The passing game was screwing with Clemson's head. If Mahoney had connected a few more times, the outcome would have been much different. [/QUOTE]
