[QUOTE="takethepoints, post: 270532, member: 265"] Well … if I recall correctly, we are #9 right now in yards rushing in the FBS so it isn't as if the entire running game went south all of a sudden. We are spoiled on that; if we aren't in the top 3 in rushing yards we tend to think something is wrong. Most teams would kill to run the ball as well as we have this year. [I] [/I] I think that the uptick in passing big plays is largely due to a) both starting WRs playing a good deal better this year and b) much better pass blocking schemes. Mainly, I think, the latter. It isn't as if we didn't have people open in 2015, but JT hardly got any time to throw. For the run, I think it is a matter of better blocking, especially on the edge. Last year, the big questions on the TO and toss sweeps were whether anybody would hit the right guy and whether it would do any good if they did. Not so much this year. I put this down to the ABs getting more experience and the OLs working on their conditioning. Combine all that with JT's ability to milk plays at the edge so that explosion plays are more common and there you are. Not next year, however, I think. In 2017 the Death March returns.
