I think there are good points in both sides.

There are lies, damn lies and statistics.

The offense seems better this year by the look test. More cohesive. An actual offensive identity. Less false starts.

The troubling part is run blocking. Everyone on that line is a veteran. We should be getting a better push or at least a stalemate. It seems like trudo, foy and Robinson were better run blockers as sophomores.  Pass blocking has been decent- look at the number of sacks. I don't think we've been overly hurried.

The other part is open it up. Attack the the defenses weakness. Usf had a veteran front four and all freshman and sophomores dbs. So we ran the ball. Makes no sense. Uva stinks in secondary by all accounts. I really don't want to see us pound the rock. As the spread proponents point out you should take what the defense gives you. The spread makes the defense commit by alignment in terms of where they will be, hence the counting the mike. Overall really spreading them out makes sense to Lesters philosophy of simplification. His problem so far is when he's been too conservative and tricking himself ala the Ben Lewis runs to keep the defense honest. Those are wasted plays. We cannot waste plays and hope we have a 89 td bomb to bris.
