in 2017 we had a QB that wasn’t a good passer, so the offense was committed to running the ball and we saw a good run game that looked greater than it was due to big plays.
Now that we have a better passer at QB i see a commitment to spreading it out and tossing it around. i’ve heard on a few podcasts that passing is more complex and takes a lot of commitment in practice time.
i don’t think at this level you can have the OL practice pass protection most of the time then have them run block like Wisconsin.
We saw the similarities with Weis, so I’m not surprised that we can’t run inside or grind it out in short yardage situations, the reps aren’t there.
