... However, even though I can rightfully be called a "Shawpologist", even I wished we would pass more on first and second run.

Even this past year? 
How much did we already pass on first down and run on second? 

Even this year, we ran more frequently than we passed on first down (166 pass attempts, 200 runs; 45% passes, 55% runs).  That's down from past year (42% passes, 58% runs), but not as much as you would expect given our better passing game and worse running game.

On the 166 passing first downs, we had a 68% completion percentage, averaged 9.1 yards per play, and got 48 first downs.
On the 200 running first down, we averaged 4.0 ypc, and got 24 first downs.

Sadly, I don't have data on the rest of each set of downs, but I do think we were generally more successful when we passed on first down than when we ran on first down.
