Run Game

The slow delayed hand off has aged like mold. Our OL is blown up by the time our RB gets the ball and starts forward. Can we just get a quick hitter, let them hit the hole with some momentum instead of flat footed?

I don't fully understand the running game like I would like to.

Still seemed like we caught Penn St. often enough that the run game worked.

Our run game, vs. Mason's run game (for example) essentially gives the defense an extra second to react.

Would be different if we had a QB run threat,

I dunno, I give the game plan today and the execution a high grade as they moved the ball on the ground and in the air against a top 10 defense in the country. The offensive line played much better today.

We have an amazing RB, and 80% of his carries are with 5 guys all over him.

Mason had outstanding OLs at times but he wasn't a run game genius or anything...

Just watched the first half on the VCR and our running was better than it seemed in person. I think when Tailor gets holed up for a 1 or 2 yard loss just stuck in my mind like Rutgers but that was not the case. Will have to watch the second half tomorrow and see if my thinking changes.

Anywho, that was a very entertaining half of football on all sides, counting PSU too. The commentators certainly were enjoying themselves. Nice to see Minnesota as part of that level of play with the recognition.
