I hate defending Fred, but.....
There were 21 occurrences of 2nd and at least 7 yards in the game last week. Of those 21 occurrences 11 of them were run plays and 10 of them were passes. Of the 11 run plays on 2nd and long, 8 occurred in the 2nd half while we were nursing a lead. Of the 6 pass attempts in the first half he didn't connect on 4 of them and took off on one, which probably changed the play calling post half.
In reality game situation dictated play calling on 2nd and long much more than anything. Early on we were passing on 2nd down in longer situations, but later in the game we were running which was probably more of an indictment on their trust in Driskel to manage longer passing situations.
