[QUOTE="IllinoisssssssVarsity, post: 1662672, member: 747262"] 2 things I feel like we need to get on the self scout a bit. We run on first down probably 95% of the time. How about a play action or a screen when defenses are teed up on us? 4th down. I was at the Maryland game and actually thought the punt was the right move, because McCray was out. The rhythm Reggie love seemed to have in the first 2 games seemed to have subsided and idk that I trusted us to pick it up there. Yesterday with McCray just eating I was about giving him the ball. Purdue was having trouble with the jet action power up the middle runs, Maryland was not, and I felt like we ran more of those last week than yesterday. Just feel, could be wrong. At the least you can say BB has an identity and solid philosophy in those situations. We can argue whether data shows he can reconsider, and it can be a legitimate argument. The way defense played yesterday, they deserved that win. But also, when you’re playing as well as our defense had, you can’t allow teams to go 80+ on you for TDs in crunch time. [/QUOTE]
