Ran the ball too much today

Everything else was flukey. Needed one first down after Blankenship’s INT and they run the ball into a stacked box for a loss of 5.

Funny even to hear that around these parts. I think they had to keep Pickett on a short leash.

Certainly in the second half it seemed like they were running on first down for little or negative gain way too much.

Exactly. All they did was put themselves in obvious passing situations on 2nd and 3rd down. With the way AJ was abusing the Commodores secondary, the best way to stay ahead of the sticks would have been to throw on 1st down.

I don’t mean to harp too much on the play calling, but that run-run-wildcat segment after two PIs to AJ got them to the red zone was…ugh.
