Message: [QUOTE="HtownOrange, post: 2291269, member: 622"] Just a simple take, the running game is vanilla for many reasons already stated: O-Line personnel not used to each other, RB's not being patient for opening, RBs not seeing the holes, etc. I also think that HCDB kept the running game vanilla to hold back on what they can actually do and to give the guys more time to adjust to the D1 level. I am not as concerned as I was last season. Let teams focus on stopping the run, this offense will score, and do so fast. Once teams focus on stopping the pass, the run game will open up. And no, I don't think we are ready to run all over Clemson, but on any given Saturday... Remember that HCDB's offense is an opportunistic offense and is designed to make final call on run/pass at the line, once the O sees what the defense scheme is. I think that most opponents are still skeptical of HCDB's offense and will make the Orange beat them with the pass for another year or two. [/QUOTE]
