I think if you want to worry, you worry about the fact that for the second straight week the run attack was not particularly impressive.

On those days when the passing attack is ineffective, and we meet a team the defense can't hold to under 20 points, we may struggle.

Hopefully next weekend won't be an example of one of those days.

That says much more about Duke's defense and our passing game than it does about our run game.  Duke was stacked against the run (often 9 men in the box) on most plays.  It's very hard to run against that kind of defensive set.  Nunes needs to make a defense pay for that by passing over their heads.  He did an OK job of that this game, but needs to do better.
