Yes but that's not our problem since we're clearly not a Run and Shoot team.

This is more than the run and shoot. THere is the very real possibility that we have a 3rd straight year of 1000+ yard runner. That is a dimension we haven't had in a while.

To be honest, A$M had some very good athletes on defense in all positions. We will not face that level of athleticism across an entire defense again.

I would bet very few teams have a 100+ yard rusher against a$m this year.

We did have some receivers make some great catches. With less responsive athletes in the future facing our receivers, we perform better. And had Padron hit our receiver in stride on that second pick, he would have still been decleated and possible drop the ball.

I blame it on sobriety.

Anyone on the board with coaching experience who can tell us WHY?

Three pages in and still haven't answered the question. A fair one, IMO.
