Are we still going to throw the ball 90% of the time with a freshman QB?

Hell no. It will be all about the running game.

Pack it up boys

Let's put everyone on the line and toss dive S. Carolina to death. That'll be great

The toss dive won us many of games against opponents who we outmatched physically. Usually everyone but Bama. I don't care if we run the ball every play if we win the damn game.

So we spent the entire Les Miles era crying about not throwing the ball enough. Now that we are throwing it, and having success on offense, we want to go back to running the ball constantly?

We wanted to throw the ball MORE with Les, and now we want to throw the ball LESS this year. You realize there’s such thing as a middle ground right? Dumb mother fricker

Johnson has more potential there than any other qb on the roster. Finley is not a running threat.

Each play will depend on what South Carolina's defense is doing.

Absolutely not...let them air it out...with a perceived 1st rnd WR Terrence Marshall Jr., emerging Arik Gilbert, and 2-3 other high ceiling receivers... you’re almost warranted to pass an insurmountable amount of times. An atrocious third-down conversion percentage and sickly rushing stats all to still drop 41pts attests to this notion. I wouldn’t say completely abandon the run game but to merely take advantage of one’s strengths...Emery showed out against Vandy; however, it hardly validates him as a prolific RB. Strangely enough, I’m more inclined to worry about our defensive tribulations than the offense.

We better be prepared to throw the ball. The other team will be stacking the box and daring us to throw it like they used to do in the Les Miles era.

I mean we don’t do this, so.

I was obviously exaggerating but we did throw it 75% of the time against mezzo. A team we should just steam roll with the running game and collect the W.

You know that is not the case dude. Most people think that a balanced offense is the best choice, which we didn’t have under Miles. I find it crazy we have abandoned the run completely recent and that should be fixed.

You can’t change the entire offense because the QB is different but you can change certain aspects. I’m sure it will be closer to 50/50 run/pass now with Max Johnson having 6-7 runs designed for him to go along with whatever he creates on his own. You can actually run the offense closer to how Burrow ram it with Johnson than you could Brennan but there’s going to be growing pains. If you could guarantee Max would complete just 50% of his passes against SC I think O would take that in a heartbeat.
