Yes. It sometimes it feels like a perfunctory 1st down run - because we're supposed to - and then we'll make the yardage the way we know we can.

You all redacted my post.
We've officially been jaybirded. It was nice while it lasted.
I did not jinx us. I never claimed anything for this season. Lol
That 2016 team was every bit as tough as Sefo and as fun to watch, and on the verge of coming apart, just like Sefo's foot and the rest of his body.
A more serious reply. Your data/proof directly contradicts the data/proof that I offered. But maybe my data wasn't the best to support my point. K-State has by far the best run defense in the Big 12. I think that influenced how much we decided to run. I also understand your point. The truth is probably somewhere in the middle.
You might occasionally be an asshole, but I'd never call you dumb, or compare you to Pahi.

Very true, and agreed.
That data is fascinating, apparently the key to staying undefeated in Big XII play is giving up 6+ yards per carry.
Edit: my dumbass read Okie Lite as BYU
Thanks!
Based on this table, we should continue committing to the run game this week
What was simultaneously sad and impressive was that stat they showed where we have an average of almost 9 yards to go on 2nd down. Obviously shows how inefficient we are on first. But also impressive that we’ve been able to score the way we have while getting off to poor starts majority of the time on every new set of downs.
Kind of goes to Duff's point. It would be great if we could get ourselves into some 2nd and 3's or 2nd and 5's, set up by the pass. Then we are in a position where we are not so damn predictable. And maybe sprinkle in a few runs on 2nd and long.
I was impressed by how often it seemed that we ran in 3rd and medium yesterday (and successfully on several as well).
Go back and look at our 1st down play calling all season. It's absolutely tragic.
Personally, I LOOOOOOOVE throwing WR bubbles against 3 over 2. Gives me a chubby.

Yes, that is when the run game started clicking. Then they went back to the original two in the second half. I didn’t really notice after that
According to Maximus on 247, they swapped the guards each quarter. So the starters played 1st & 3rd.
Are these analytics? Because these look like analytics.
So did Houston play all game at RT?
Shurmur watching #2 design and call plays for his offense 
Also - not to be that guy - but to be that guy -
Two of the first seven carries yesterday were from the Arizona 1. Augustave scored on the first drive. He was stopped from the 1 on the second drive. On both of those carries, one yard was the maximum that could be gained.
Comparing that to the start of the K-State game is not apples to apples. I know what my eyes saw. We had some early moderate success with the run against Arizona. We were going nowhere against K-State.
Kind of slimy not the mention that in your post, Robert. I retract my earlier reconciliatory post.

Didn't even call him Bobby or Robbie? Soft.
Dammit!
The next step is off a cliff.some of you ****s are going to be tragically insufferable when we take the next step.
Have you heard yourself in the baseball threads?
Some already are.some of you ****s are going to be tragically insufferable when we take the next step.
Fishing below the dam or up in the mountains?
Did you ask your USC friends what they think about you when you’re talking about college football?some of you ****s are going to be tragically insufferable when we take the next step.
Below the dam. Four wheeling and a lot of eating/drinking after.
