[QUOTE="lv20gt, post: 179495, member: 2299"] It's not passing for the sake of passing. It's having a competent passing game for the sake of being able to have success on offense even when opponents limit the running game, because every year we have a game, or sometimes more, where that happens. Where we can't win just running it, and need a passing game, and more often than not we lose those games because our passing game is woefully underdeveloped. And your stats come straight from the no duh vault. Our passing game sucks. Of course then our success comes when we have success running the ball, and when we have to pass a lot we struggle. That's not support that we shouldn't be passing. It's support that we should develop a better passing game. We didn't lose because we passed the ball 24 times against ND. We lost because we couldn't pass the ball competently. Same as Duke last year. Against FSU your stats are misleading. 8 of our 11 passes came when we were down 2 scores with under 5 to go, forcing us to pass, and 6 came on the final drive that ended up in a TD. The other 3 passes that half were 3rd and 8 incompletion, a 4th and 5 incompletion, and a first down catch. Passing too much in the second half was not why we only scored 14. And of course that game demonstrates the problem that we never really pass much until our offense is struggling and we're not in good positions to begin with, which is why so many of our big wins have us passing less.
