The field is 160 feet wide.
The width has nothing to do with it. It's about gaps. The space between the guy on the end and the sideline is just another gap. They loaded up for the run, which means they had guys in every gap, including the one at the end. You can't run against that unless you have a huge advantage in athletes. On the other hand, it means they're short handed in the passing game and their guys would have to do superhuman things to prevent the kind of play we ran. They were unable to stop it, but were saved by our lack of execution.

Gap counting is meaningless when you're talking about gaining 2 yards on 2 plays. That's just a question of whether your o-line can avoid collapsing long enough for your running back to fall forward for a yard at a time.
You keep talking about it like they were trying to break off a huge play, but the needed 2 yards in 2 plays. That's it. You don't need to count men or work for a numerical advantage you just give your RB a head of steam, put him behind your giant fullback, and let him fall into the hole for a yard or two.

Dude, you don't have to run between the tackles.
