The problem is, we were so ineffective running that Utah could drop back more pass defenders on most downs. That leads to double coverage (and an interception). The second defender being there is not part of the plan. This is a problem since when we rely on our receivers to make plays when they are well covered. KJ makes a living throwing passes that most coaches would bench a QB for throwing. He throws to covered receivers as a matter of course. With us, it's normal offense. The fact we got as many yards as we did is a tribute to the receivers and KJ. However, since Utah could get pressure (often when rushing only 4), it also led to sacks, hurries, an interception and a fumble. This pressure also contributed to some under-thrown balls and not reading who was double covered at times. This same scenario let to an interception against ND (except the receiver was actually triple covered).
