[QUOTE="GTRX7, post: 179504, member: 1045"] We may not have lost last week because we threw the ball 24 times, but I am 100% convinced we would have done better had we passed it less. Same for UGA first half. As soon as we cut the crap out and stuck to our base offense, we improved. We need some sort of passing threat, but I don't think that means passing more. As others have said, just work on the efficiency. I think our scheme does that (shown by us near the national lead in efficiency most years). To say that we would have done better against ND had we passed better is to miss the point. It would have been tough for us to pass well against ND with our young receivers vs. their secondary even if we ran UGA's offense. [U]The real point is that we would have done better against ND had we kept our assignments and made our blocks[/U]. That is the correction that needs to be made, not restructuring the passing game. Would it be better if we had a better passing game when the rushing game isn't working? Sure. Would it be great if we were a top passing team in the country? Absolutely. However, to do that, we would need to divert effort/practice time from our bread and butter rushing offense. That is a trade-off, and I don't see it being worth while. We have proven we can win the biggest games when the rushing game is working and that is what we should aim for. The old phrase "a team that has two quarterbacks has zero quarterbacks" comes to mind. Try to do too much well and we may end up doing nothing well. [/QUOTE]
