Nah. Les miles ran. The. Ball. We scored 0 pts against Bama with that approach.

And everybody knew Les was going to run. There was no attempt - ever - to be balanced.

You can’t stack the box against our weapons, you can’t sell out against the run against Burrow. Venebles goal is going to be to confuse Burrow by giving him looks he hasn’t seen all year.

If Venebles is going to be mixing up looks, our Oline will have leverage against blitzes and stunts as well as with linebackers dropping in zone.

Huge advantage with our running game, especially with Clyde’s cutting ability.

Agree with those who brought up the RPO game. No one is saying don’t be balanced, but the running game is going to be open if Venebles is aggressive. Running the ball is much more foolproof against DC’s who pride themselves on outscheming you.
