[QUOTE="Boomergump, post: 238783, member: 639"] The mid-line saved our bacon against Climpsum that year at home where we got up 21 zip (Nesbitt) only to see them come back. In QTR 3&4 we really got the mid-line going and moved the ball after being stagnated otherwise, winning by a FG. This was the game with the infamous orange clad fan crying and slamming his hat down on ESPN while the guys in the booth had their precious moments (and commentary) during the the TV timeout. The mid-line is like having a great off speed pitch in baseball. You really need it to complement your bread and butter. We need to run this play well. In the JT era, there has been less and less of this play. I don't know why. Possibly it is because the interior running is more for the big guys. There is less risk running it in the bowl game (orange bowl) because there are no games left to play afterwards. In any case, it is my opinion that the mid-line really needs to be used throughout the year if we are to be successful. I challenge the notion that we didn't run this with TW. I felt like we ran it a good bit and TW was really good at executing it. The game against Climpsum (again) on Halloween with TW at QB and them highly ranked where we won big, it was used quite a bit to great effect. They had a great DT (as usual) who we couldn't seem to block. Hey, if you can't block them, option them off instead, right? When you are playing an opponent with great DTs, this is the play to use.
