re: The Best and the Worst from last night

It's because we are not running the I. CS did much better with a really good fullback plowing the road for him. I went back and re-watched most of the game and UW had no fewer than 7 men in the box every 1st and 2nd down play. Without the fullback, the numbers aren't in your favor going directly up the middle.

KW's run up the middle on the last drive came after running the option outside and spreading the D out a little. I think we will see a lot more variety in the running game against SEC competition. We will have to have an effective run game against better competition.

All this is to say that KW may be the better option at tailback this year if this is the style offense we are going to use. He can get through a smaller hole and has a lot more speed. He is also a lot more versatile, since he is a better bet to get to the corner when we run the option. If we are constantly rotating him and CS, the D will be able to read exactly what we are doing.
