let's pinpoint the problem(s) with the running game... A) Offensive line not opening holes/missed blocking assignments (Jimbo Fisher/poor coaching) B) Defense still tilted/stacked somewhat in stopping our run. (Jimbo Fisher/poor play calling) C) Our running backs are really mediocre no matter how much we talk them up (Why not play Charles Scott and KW if JV is overrated and Alley still not 100%. A Running back is one of the few positions that routinely play as Freshman) D) Auburn has a great defense, will make any running game look bad. A 25%, B 50% C 10% D 15%
A. Great pass protection though, so good coaching? B. Agree, pla calling was bad, espeically lack of first down play action and running the ball on third and 3 a couple of times. C. Neithyer guy was impressive, but then again it is hard to be real impressive when you have a dlineman hitting you as soon as you get the ball. But it sure could not have hurt to try Scott. D. Yes they do, and that is a big reason we should have passed to set up the run.
