re: Does throwing long loosen up things for the run even without a high completion %

Saban will put his front seven and eight against ours and try win that battle. They will more often than not just like our defense. The ability to throw the ball deep and actually completing a deep ball are two different things. Defense must respect the deep ball and if they do it does open favorable match ups. Like LSU, it will be very difficult to move the ball with 10 play 70-80 yard drives. Turnovers as always are the great equalizer.

If you put 3 or 4 WR's out wide, defenses have no choise but to match up. The key is to spread them out wide. This takes defenders away from the "box". Completing deep passes determines if the D will keep safeties back, which keeps 1 possibly 2 more defenders away from the line of scrimmage.
If we throw deep with no actual success, defenses tend to play man and place every available defender around the line of scrimmage to stop the run. If you complete some long ones, the defense tends to man up with help over the top by the safeties to aid with coverage.
Our running game is A LOT better than most dans know because we regularly run the ball against 8 and 9 defenders in the box and still average over 200 yds a game. Just stop and imagine if we faced only 5, 6, or 7 defenders in the box.
