You kind of have to go away from the QB run game from time to time unless you think your QB having 30 carries is a good idea.
I agree with this generally, but this is not the scenario to call plays with preserving your qb in mind:
1. 0-1 in conference
2. Up three points at home, with a loss effectively ending the season
3. Deep in own territory
4. Having run for two straight first downs,
5. Against a team that scored 28 on us in the first half.
Season was on the brink there....wasn't a time to try to maintain balance and preserve qb
