We do run the ball too much lately based on what it's getting us. Over the last 3 games we've run 63 times w/ RBs for 219 yards which is just under 3.5 ypc. 23 carries for 78 yards vs USF, 23-64 vs UConn, and 17-77 vs Lville.

Obviously hindsight is 20:20 but we've got a big enough product sample to see what's not working and at this point IMHO we need to try something different. Even if our RBs break through the line, they aren't fast enough to be a threat to score at this point. We run too many plays where max potential is 5 yards vs a first down or a TD. An incomplete 15 yard pass is a better play call than a 1 yard run on first down because you at least open the defense up.

We try to run to set up the pass (pro mentality) where we would be better served to pass to open up the run and get AB the space he needs to be effective. It doesn't always have to be the case but based on our current roster it can't be any less effective.

End rant.
