    Year-Runs-Passes
    2001-381-367
    2002-430-453
    2003-514-350
    2004-584-199

    Obviously these ratios are heavily influenced by personnel from year to year, but in Miles' first 2 seasons OSU was very balanced, and then the last two years has been more and more run-oriented. Looking at the individual stats, Miles has rode a feature back some seasons, and split carries other seasons. Looking at recieving, most seasons the top two wideouts have lots of catches, then there is a big dropoff to the thrid guy.

    I imagine that has a lot to do with depth.

    He runs a balanced offense, given the talent he wants. I expect a RB, 2WRs, and the QB to have a career year.

    I imagine the tight ends will catch more balls next year as well maybe....

    You're right, I forgot them. TEs will be very pleased with Miles.

    I hope with all the talnet we have that only the QB has a career year, which of course will be easy to do. I'd like to see us throw it about 55% of the time, have 2 1000 yard rushers and another guy with about 700. Break all of the records we set in 2003 and be unstopable. Have no WR's in the top 5 of the SEC but have 4 in the top 20 plus a TE.

    With all the talent we have returning, we've got potential All SEC and All Americans every where on the field next year. In fact, we have so many stars that they may take away from each other's numbers some. Saban always seemed the type to spread it around and not keep any one person in all the time and stack their numbers up. From what I've learned about Miles, he's got a similar philosophy. I imagine we will still develop go to guys for RB & WR though. My guess is Broussard/Bowe for next year even though Buster was the better receiver this year.
