60 runs is a ton and he’s probably right. You’re going to play a close game almost every week if you run that much.
You guys would bitch when we inevitably ran on 3rd and 6 and gained 3 or 4 and punted. To run 60 times a game you would have to do that.
We can still run more and probably should. It does limit TO’s and I think we would do really well to play bully ball in the PAC 12, especially with our defenses most years.
CP likes throwing more than running. It’s obvious. He does have former QB syndrome. He gets more enjoyment from big passing plays. A lot of coaches do.
Throw it more if that makes us a better offense. LSU throws the ball often this year after being run heavy and sucking for years. Our run pass balance isn’t the problem. At least it’s not the problem. Quit searching for anything. It’s gotten old and a lot of you are really FS.
I would agree with this sentiment. It's less about how many times we run vs pass, but, rather, we have the most cuckold offensive scheme in the country.
Certain games we can run 60 times, but not every game. You gotta get a big lead early and you can. That’s how Chip ran 60 times per game at Oregon. They were run heavy, played fast, and built leads which inevitably leads to more running.
If teams are loading the box you have to be able to throw and punish them. Our offense is broken and at times we do get pass happy, but our balance isn’t that bad. A little bit more running and getting in better third downs would be nice. Leads where we can run out the clock would be great too. We aren’t the air raid tho. I don’t know our run:pass ratio off the top of my head, but it’s not a pass happy offense by any means.
Too much emphasis on out scheming and surprising defenses, not enough on just being consistently good at what works, and too many failed plays that put us behind the chains. That's what is wrong with the offense, not the overall number of rush and pass plays.
Then there's the problem of adjustments. The better defenses UW has faced have made them after the offense was working early on. Hamdan and Pete have yet to answer and win one of these games.
So I guess it's more than just what I said in the first paragraph.

Nick Saban said UW had a script and once you saw the patterns, it was easy to stop. We scored early, they adjusted, and we couldn’t move the ball.

This is the Nick Saban is to Chris Petersen as Jimmy Lake is to Mike Leach POTD.

What are you doing being reasonable and sensible around here?

It's really about that simple. If you can't run then pass. Otherwise make them stop you
And fuck the wildcat

You score by passing and win by being able to run it
The ND-Michigan game is a TERRIBLE example ... downright fucking laughable
Her too...
It's a thing now.
