      After the Washington game:

      “We need to run the ball more”

      After the WSU game:

      “We need to be better in the throw game”

      I would hate being his OC. I don’t think he even knows what he wants. We won’t need to fire Troy Taylor, I bet he quits at the end of the season.

      You’re cherry picking quotes.  He said that they wanted to run the ball more and that they did. He said the throw game needs to be more effecive and efficient.  Both are true.  

      Being better in the throw games doesn’t mean you can’t run the ball more.  Better doesn’t mean more attempts.

        Ok so he wants to be more efficient in the throw game with a QB that can’t throw? He needs to stick with what his team does best. They run the ball. The first half of the WSU game is what this team does. If he wants a spread offense he needs to get a spread style QB.

        He wants a spread offense that is run heavy with a QB that can’t throw and can kinda run if he gets a lot of open space.

          Larry stop being so impatient.  Wait until you see OC #10.  He’s going to be the one.

          We attempted to run the ball as much in the second half as in the first.  Moss carried 15 times in the first and 13 in the second. Shyne and Huntley also had a few carries in second half.  WSU was sutting it down, so you have to pass at that point.  We didn’t abandon the run. 

          At some point you are going to have to pass to win. If you are a run heavy team, you need to be efficient in the pass game because those attempts are fewer and you need to capitalize on them.

            Thank you for adding facts to the discussion.
