Yes, we should definitely stop running the ball and (looks at notes) stop giving the ball to the record-setting running back.

Not at all. Get him the ball. Just don't do it five yards deep when were getting gashed up front. Get him the ball in space--slip him out of the backfield kinda thing. I don't think we threw a pass to Love all day, did we?

Or, you know, run some playfakes or something. Did we use playaction with Love even once?

Anyway, like I said, it was a close game and there are plenty of things you can point to and ask "What if?" But in my mind it comes back to us getting completely demolished up front to the point where a team that usually outperforms its opponent's rushing average by over a ypc actually underperformed it. This wasn't just "WSU's line is good", we got rocked. That we were still in it late is kind of amazing.
