Has anyone pointed out that there were only 3 games that had more pass plays called than run? I may have missed it.
Florida
Ole Miss
Clemson


Not sure I understand the point ofthis thread at all. We are a run first team. Our strength is our RBs and the depth of that position. Don't understand whats so hard to grasp about that.

As I'm sure has been pointed out already we lost 2 out of 3 of those games and took a late comeback to win the third one, so I don't think it is necessarily a good thing when we throw more than we run.

Maybe that was your point though.

There is no ideal percentage. If you're playing from behind you're going to be passing a lot. If you're in a shootout you're going to be passing a lot. If you're protecting a lead you're going to be running more.

Talking about "ideal ratios" is stupid and misses the main point which is which whether the plays themselves are designed well, and whether they are being called at appropriate times.

The offense needs to work. Pass, run, whatever, just put together an offense that can at least break the top 50 consistently and we will be in much better shape.
