What's baffling about this is we are generally a pretty creative offense. But we just kept running the same running plays over and over and over. It's not just that we weren't executing, but it's pretty easy to stop when you do the same thing every time. It made no sense why it took us 3 quarters to do something different and take the RB we drafted who is supposed to be good in space and, wait for it this is a crazy idea I can't believe it worked, put him in space instead of just pounding him up the middle. Not surprisingly the 2 best runs for CEH of the night were toss plays to the outside. Do that with mixing in some jet sweeps to keep defenses honest and that might help. Not "run up the middle every second down".
