There were points in the season, like early vs Indy where they seemed to try and show more discipline in running it and it worked.  Tennessee was similar when the entire starting 5 went down and they looked as good as they did all year.  Zac just never had the will to stick to it and leave the Ferrari in the garage (Burrow) for a few more plays.

Excellent observations.... absolutely correct. This was the Achilles heel of the 5 year playoff run.... pressure up the gut due to Bodine.
