This statement right here shows how stupid you are

Hardly.

Running it, just to run it, is senseless when you are getting less than 3 yards on almost every play. Our oline isn't getting a push and the 3rd and longs are putting us in a predictable situation, making our offense easy to defend on "obvious" passing plays.

When we have been in a position to win a game it's been because of our passing attack. When we speed things up and get our QB in rhythm good things happen. When we stubbornly run the ball, only for bad things to happen, it stalls whatever offensive momemtum we have,

In general teams shouldnt' abandon the run. But for this team, with our run blocking, play design, and personnel? We need to when it proves to be completely ineffective. That's what we are seeing here and if you are calling someone stupid for figuring that out, it's actually YOU that's showing your stupidity.

Needed the TD from that position but hey, at least it wasn’t 0 points despite having it at midfield TWICE like against K State with the game on the line when we only needed a FG.

Progress baby!!!
You are a 'glass half full' type of dude

Id money you were a throw it to Blythe every time guy.
Other than Dekkers escaping and getting that first down we have 10 runs for a total of 15 yards and you’re the one calling me dumb? The running game is clearly useless today. You want to keep running the ball? Seems like you are the dumb one.

If you rewatch that KSU game, you would want to fire the entire offense staff immediately

9 rushing yards on 12 attempts. What exactly is being coached of the o-line? It’s a sieve. Our backs aren’t anything great but you have to believe our o-line talent isn’t THIS bad.

You do realize they are putting a ton in the box because they know Dekkers is inaccurate. By running some you keep them there and make it likely that we complete something downfield

Might be a Lil deflated with the 13 yard snap over Dekkers head. But your point doesn't change. We can't run

What does that look like? Creativity? Reverses, HB passes, flea flickers?
No inside tackle runs on first down. Play-action, read option with the QB as an actual option, handoffs to a man in motion. But we are getting beat terribly every week inside and we’ve telegraphed that every drive is going to start with an inside handoff, even when teams have 8+ in the box.

We need to have two options available every snap - one if the box is stacked (quick pass outside) and one if it’s open (run). Either they aren’t teaching this, or Dekkers is making all the wrong reads on the field.
