We simply do not run the ball enough. When Mixon gets 4+ (13 carries for 56 yards) yards per carry and we don't feed him the ball, that's on the coaches. It's not like we were way behind and had to throw the ball every play. We were down 7 points a few minutes into the 3rd quarter.
Cover 2 has a weakness -- you have to run against it. Dink and dunks also work, mostly in the middle but you HAVE to get the LBs to respect the run so you can play action and throw in behind them.
To each his own... unless you belong to a political party...
