Message: [QUOTE="kingottoiii, post: 77191"] I don't think it is a run vs pass issue. I think it is a conservative slow down issue vs a more mixing things up issue. I think we did a great job 1st Q vs USC. The style and pace we used was vastly different. Why can we do it vs USC but not UConn? The same can be said of the entire WV game. When we are more willing to open things up we run and pass it a lot better. IMO one of two things are happening. Either we start off conservative and are forced to open things up because we are down early (most likely). Or in the 1st Q our staff wants to see how the D will play us. Then we attack off of that in the 2nd-4th Q. Either way both aren't working and we need to open things up out of the gate. That doesn't mean we have to pass more. But use 3 WRs more often when we run. Or don't just run between Ts. And if we do pass, make it long enough to pick up a first down. [/QUOTE]
