ASU did shut down the run, but Browning was hitting under 50 percent of his passes in the 2nd half too so there really is no excuse for the pass:rush disparity. It's been going on all year.
At this point, I would love to be balanced. We aren't at all balanced though. We are very pass heavy. It's not because of ASU selling out on the run, or Utah's front 7 being a lot better than their secondary. It's every fucking game.
It's obviously what Petersen wants to do, and everyone that doesn't have their head in their ass can read between the lines from his quotes about being happy the pass game overshadowed the run game against Arizona or being more stubborn with the run.
The stupid thing is, we ran the ball a lot last year.
Pete is trying his best to summon the ghost of Kellen Moore, but the shit ain't working. This isn't the Mountain West (although Kellen did win at Oregon in one of BSU's 2 legit games per year).
This team would be a lot better with a healthy Cyler Miles
I was with u until Cyler
Cyler had a fucked up hip which hurt him both passing and running the ball
Cyler sucked. But at least Peterman knew he sucked. Didn't try to force the passing game.
It's almost as if opposing teams are just gambling with sending heavy pass rushes more often, knowing full well that even if we're running the ball well there's going to be a point in the drive where we throw 3 straight times.
