We'll run on Miami...

[The Manhatter]

to what extent, I don't know.  But we will be successful running the ball on these guys.  I have a lot of confidence this will happen.

So as long as our rushing yard total is in the +, your prediction is correct.

[Rage Against the McKee]

I think we will get more than 4 yards per carry as a team.

I'm not worried about our ability to run against Miami.  Klein, Hubert, Pease, BB, etc should be able to move the ball against just about anybody.  Passing, on the other hand....

No, I think we may very well go over 200 yards rushing on them.

How successful will a run-only offense be when a quality defense knows they are a run-only offense?

I enjoyed the orbit that we showed last week.  With our particular set of receivers, I think this should be used fairly regularly.

When you incorporate the QB run game, it's harder to stop. We do need to go deep occasionally to keep them honest, though.

I hear you.  We will need to make plays in the passing game to win.  Klein wasn't the problem vs. Kent State in that area.  If our receivers don't drop the passes in that game we score 45 pts or more.  He hit receivers in the hands.  He'll have his bad throws and we'll live with that.  All QBs have bad throws.

It's the consistency you worry about...but Miami is a little bit young in that secondary and if they have to come up to help.

I hate that Freeze is our RG.  We need to do something about that.

Based on what? Our best OL is out, and our RB's have shown absolutely nothing.

Klein's rushing yards count, also.

When running the QB it can still be quite successful, but Klein will still need to hit some throws. He can't be at the 4.1 YPA he was vs Kent. It doesn't need to be some ridiculous 10+ YPA, but we probably at least need to get close to doubling the YPA #s.

We will likely have 4-5 opportunities to get over the top of Miami on play-action, we need to protect and Klein needs to hit at least 2-3 of those. JMHO.

sometimes very successful.  see #6 on this list

This particular group of Miami defenders has not been great at stopping the run.  They were 84th last year and that was with Bailey and McCarthy...two pretty stout defenders.  Ohio State had no threat to run the ball from QB, rarely used a fullback, doesn't have an elite talent at RB (Bryce might qualify), and wasn't a threat to throw the ball going into the game yet they found a lot more success running it than they did against Toledo the week before at home.

I would slaughter my very finest meatgoat for this to occur.

actually Bryce did show something while at Tennessee.  Look, the time is winding down for Hubert...kay?

why will we be able to run?  scheme, personnel at a number of positions like QB, TE, WR...and you look at a running team like Georgia Tech...individually they are very average in terms of talent.  That wasn't some incredibly talented team that ran all over Kansas last week.  Nor was it an incredibly talented Ga Tech team that gashed Miami for 350 on the ground last year.

We'll run on them.

For some reason this board sees the l__l and just flips out thinking of Russell Maryland, Sapp, etc. etc.  They're good but they don't have those types of guys right now.  

[yoga-like_abana]

Are you guaranteeing a Georgia Tech t-shirt type performance?

[Bookcat]

our first play from scrimmage should be a bootleg to Tannahill. Let 'em knew we aint skeered.

[Bookcat]

but will Miami run on us...um..yes. And they should have beat Maryland but they had one too many fumbles.

[The Manhatter]

okay.  good for them.

[sonofdaxjones]

We are so slow compared to Miami it's almost a joke.

[Dugout DickStone]

Should I kill my prize meatgoat BEFORE the game as a sacrifice?

I will prepare Cmmdr. Ichabod Scrivener VonSucculence for his final days if so.

200 rushing yards probably won't be enough for the win, fwiw.
