run pass ratio & Qualls/Vea/Gaines keys to Apple Cup

godawgst · November 2016

On offense: If we 55%-45% or more run/pass we win. For each percentage less than that our chances go down

On defense: If those three can collapse or make the pocket muddy for Falk, he will hold onto it to long and either take the sack, or throw a couple of int's

I feel good about #2, I still don't trust Smith to "not eat the apple" so to speak and use Gaskin and Myles. Running the ball for 3-5 yards is a winning play. Isn't exciting, but keeps their offense off the field.

I, for one, also hope they use both Gaskin and Myles

guys. we're a passing team early in the game and after we wear them down, we're a running team. it's just the way it is this year. we can't fall behind by much....if we fall behind, we're toast. Need to score early and JRIII is the best player on the field. Would I like us to be more balanced. certainly, but they're not going to line up and play old school smash mouth.
