    I have to agree. He didn't call a good game today.

    I think to some extent it is Mario. He's a tough guy and loves tough football. Very effective out west and it won a Rose Bowl against a corn fed Midwest behemoth

    Both teams kept smashing the middle and then were like, maybe we could go around them?

    Blaming the coordinator is a Husky thing. Be better

    I agree. It was also good enough to win, so we really can’t complain. Winning is all that should matter. Style points are for losers.

    Or maybe pretend we're running in one direction only to switch to the opposite. Like, where no one is cuz they are all going to the original spot. Or hey, we have the Outland trophy winner on the left side of the line. Let's see if he can make some room over there?

    I loved the 4th down call in the first half where we run a dive on 4th and 1 to the right, when Sewell is on the left.

    To an extent, establishing the run takes commitment. Teams that try to run and then give up after a few tries don't ever, ever, ever establish the run. It's hard or everyone would do it, because if you can do it, it is the most effective means of controlling the game. You wear down and eventually emasculate the other guy's defense, and they carry that defeat to the sidelines.

    All the while you are resting your defense.

    But it's an attitude and a commitment to philosophy. The Dolphins drafted Richmond Webb out of A&M, whose nickname there was "The Hammer". You don't get that nick name as an O lineman, at A&M or anywhere else, unless you run block.

    But he was brought in to protect Marino's blindside. When Jimmy showed up and said, "WTF? We need to run the ball," the could not convert Webb and Keith Sims, who played at fucking Iowa, into run blockers. Too many seasons focusing on footwork and balance and shuffling backwards. They had lost their balls and had become finesse players.

    Yeah, it's dumb to pound in the middle with no success and not ever do anything else. But you have to commit to it. Also, it sets the other shit up whether it's work well or not.

    I am desperately hoping that if I'm stuck with Diaz he will lose his fascination with the spread. Running the ball when you're telling the other guy you're running the ball and doing it anyway is the true big swinging dick.

    Nothing says "I'm going to beat your ass" better than an 8 yard run between the tackles.

    Look at all the creative shit that Wisconsin did to pick up the tough yards while Arroyo ran Verdell in the A gap on 1st and 10 over and over. Wisconsin ran a FB dive, a couple plays out of that diamond formation, including a big PA pass, a few fly sweeps that all worked. Arroyo made plain jane maul you in a phone booth Wisconsin look like creative geniuses. Sadly I'm afraid this is all CMC. Someone said that he prefers the fight more than the win, and it certainly appears that way right now. He needs to let his big dick ego go and let someone call plays that actually have a higher % of gaining yards. The tuffest teams aren't the ones in 2 and 7 a dozen times a game.
