Message: [QUOTE="orangepassion, post: 3993869, member: 14"] I looked at the play-by-play of the FSU game and noticed that we ran the ball almost every 1st down. Mostly with Tucker, with Shrader running it a few times. Of the 3 times we started the drive with a vertical throw, we scored 2 TD's and the third we basically ran out of time with the poor clock management, but were on track to score. I hope the offense expands where we mix in some more 1st down throws. I don't need bombs, just some short slants behind the backers who are attacking the run game to keep them honest. Would also love some more short, efficient passes on 3rd and long instead of the long passes we've favored in those situations. Once we pull together more 1st downs, I feel more optimistic we'll be able to punch it in with Shrader at QB. [/QUOTE]
