And I believe you want this offense to fail so you can get rid of Orgeron and put your choice in the HC slot.

This whole "running game sucks" narrative comes directly from the Nega-Tigers group-think talking points.

You've got to be kidding me

I'm fricking thrilled with the passing attack we're seeing. I've had half a mind to write a post apologizing to you for doubting your hype of Burrow. I thought you were jumping to too much hyperbole, but the truth is, you actually undersold Burrow :lol: .

My big concern, is that our runs look weak when we do it. It's been barely enough to keep the defense honest. And different scheme or not, these are the same players as last year, they should know how to run block.

This should not be the case. At this point, defenses should be aware that we're pass-first, and the box isn't crowded at all. The occasional run should be something that catches the defense off-balance, and we should be ripping chunks off when we do it. Helaire is grinding away after contact, which is fortunate, because he'd have maybe 10 yds a game if he went down when he's first hit.

Somebody posted the "efficiency" of the runs this year, and that's nice. Let's revisit that list after we play big boys, instead of a Sun Belt, Big 12, and FCS team.

I'm not advocating changing the scheme up, I'm saying fix the damn run game. It's not clicking yet.
