Being an ex-offensive lineman, I want to run the ball. We still haven't established our running game. Right now, we're last in the league in rushing, and we've always felt philosophically that to be a championship team you have to be able to run the ball and defend the run. |
South Dakota State had such a talented front seven. Their team speed even on their interior linemen was incredible and it was tough to run on that. Howard Payne right away put nine men in the box and you have to pass against that. |
You can't be stubborn. You can't try to run the ball at all costs. |
