Seven vs. Coach P running plays (deserved on thread)

The numbers just do not agree with the general thought that Sark did not run the ball. His problem was the fact that he had no idea of how to manage a game. There were several occasions when he went to the run to early (AC 11') and stuck with it in key situations (ND 09'). And I think he was more concerned about being "clever" with his play calling rather than going with the flow of the game. But here are the numbers:
Seven:
09' = P - 458 R - 390 49.6% RUN PLAYS
10' = P - 376 R - 481 56.1%
11' = P - 406 R - 452 52.7%
12' = P - 438 R - 466 51.5%
13' = P - 413 R - 610 59.6%
5 YR AVG = 53.9
Coach P:
09' = P - 458 R - 508 52.6%
10' = P - 424 R - 485 53.5%
11' = P - 477 R - 492 50.7%
12' = P - 394 R - 478 54.8%
13' = P - 466 R - 563 54.7%
14' = P - 72 R - 163 69.4% ****
5 YR AVG = 53.26
Technically the Reddit (that is your source) dude is right, but the numbers a skewed this year because of the Lindy start on the islands. I am sure if you asked Coach P he would like to get the running plays down to his 5 yr average. We are not going to be very successful in conference play if we are running the ball over 65% of the time. If people want to get to that number we would have to commit to going to the Stanford (power) or Oregon (zone/read) systems. Coach P has had great success with his balanced attack and I am sure that is his goal at the UW.

I didn't know that USC had jumped out to an early lead, but that is a Sark strength as well. Once the script is done and the other team adjusts Sark is clueless.
