No offense, but - we are nowhere near good enough to “impose our will” on an ACC opponent for an entire game.

We failed miserably at that for the entire 1st half yesterday.
At one point they put up a stat - 
We had 11 rushes for… 11 yards.  Total.

It was really only at the end of the 4th where we got to the “we’re gonna run it every down, and you can’t stop us” mode.

Why bludgeon ourselves against a brick wall, when with a little misdirection we can get better results?

Play-action passing or RPO off of fakes to Tucker should be like taking candy from a baby. 
We did some of this vs. Wake - with Tucker and the whole OL going Student Body Left, while Shrader bootlegged around to the right, and was often all alone, with room to run OR pass off of that action.

And then once Wake was like Oh SHTT, we’d better cover that!, then we still showed that action, only Tucker had the ball with a caravan of blockers in front.

Also - one failed pass attempt to Benson per game is criminal. 
Dude is WIDE OPEN, and if Shrader didn’t overthrow him so badly Shaq couldn’t catch that, he’d have gotten BIG yardage.
