Very pleased to see some of my predilections have been noted on this board.

However, while I loved how well the run game was working and think that under the circumstances it was the right move for this game, this is not quite the offense I would most like to see for this team.

Most importantly, it was too run oriented: about 75% run plays. I think that's too much and doesn't make us dynamic enough. I'd like to see something more like 60% run plays, maybe a little less.
[Note vs Northwestern we had 43% run plays, and a bunch of dink and dunk passes.]

I'm with you in being all for using the run to set up play action.  But when you are ripping off 5 and 10 yard runs every time you give the ball to the receiver, why pass?  Especially when you have a gimpy QB and a second half lead.

As for the distribution of runs, we certainly went outside a fair bit (as with Sanders' second TD), but I thought we were also getting a good bit of running inside.
