We only got 21 rushing yards last year, and Luke put it up 47 times. If they stop our run game this year (likely), I strongly believe Luke can keep us in a good position with a much stronger performance than last year.
Last year we got no push against them. Our guards are 6’5 325 and 6’6 335 and get rag dolled constantly. The inside run game this week will be non existent. Need to have the short passing attack to make up for a lack of a run game.
Also the last 2 games when we ran the bunch the other teams weakside de sat on the fake toss last week and reverse this week. Unless you’re Illinois it’s pretty easy to have your end get a couple yards up the field and sit down and let the play come to you. The DE isn’t accounted for and they have been making easy tackles. What would work is to fake the toss and run a counter, you can trap block the de. It’s a very simply double wing play.
