Message: [QUOTE="sufandu, post: 14375, member: 874"] Well, I'm not so sure now. I was basing my opinion on the that it seemed they tried to run the ball more in the first half versus the second half. The running backs got stuffed repeatedly at the line of scrimmage. Even if the game plan was to throw it more, I'm pretty sure Marrone didn't want Nassib to have to throw it as much as he had to. Did he really expect to run for less than 100 yards? Did he really expect to average barely over 3ypc? My original point was that Nassib shouldn't have had to carry the load so much against an FCS team. It was also meant to say that the o-line underperformed. I don't think Marrone necessarily wanted Nassib to roll out as much as he did for his 37 attempts. Against an FCS team 4ypc should be a given and the quarterback for the FBS team should be able to stand in the pocket for an eternity to find his recievers. [/QUOTE]
