The Running Game - or lack thereof

Apparently college punters can’t shank a punt every so often, otherwise they are “awful”.
Dude was on the Ray Guy watchlist for a reason.
Becsuse he’s good for 1-2 head scratching shanks a game…
A game? No
I know in general we should be happy about the D, although I have concern about our DL. I think the run D has been solid. but there is no sign of great pass rushing that everyone has been expecting to see. It could be that the hype is simply due to the incompetence of our OL.
He was a top 25 punter in the nation on avg last year. He's excellent at pinning teams deep. All-ACC list, then makes All-PAC-12 for us last year. But people act like he's a weakness of this team. It crazy.

Prime definitely has guys he's going to play no matter what.
As I've said 100 times...Tyler Johnson should not be in the bench. He's got plenty on film to show he's a high caliber P4 starter.
I like Brown, but Prime definitely has a hard on for him.
"in the bench?"
This is my point. He was excellent last year. He was a weapon. Only three games this year…. Definitely not so much.
He’s not the team’s main weakness but he does shank 1-2 per game.
He’s had at least one shank in the last 7 games
To be fair, SJSU held them to 143 yards rushing.
So it shows you how bad Air Force this year, not necessarily how good Baylor running D is.
You read the box score wrong.
AFA passing: 2/8, 25 yards, 0 TD/ 1 INT
AFA rushing: 56 for 193 yards, 0 TD / 2 FUM

Merrimack held Airforce to 166 yards on 55 attempts... F***ing Merrimack
and Air Force was only able to go 6/14 for 71 yards against them in the air
Air Force is a really bad football team this year, and bailer was only winning 6-3 at the half.

I'm a ****ty troll
I sort of see the DL coming together, although we had a couple guys out due to injury. Thus, we have played a bunch of guys too. We are definitely bigger, stronger, faster.
I sort of feel that the DL is as far along today as the DL ever made it last season. I thought last year's DL incrementally improved making plays (did not help in some of those games the D was on the field the entire time), although that stats did not really show it. We were a bad D, but some guys shined--Domineck comes to mind.
This year, the are not always taking the best angles on some plays, but they are winning a fair share of one on one battles. We are getting some tackles for loss and making some plays. Some guys are taking double-teams, which helps others (i.e. LB/S's) within the scheme. I thought we had a great D outing on the road v. CSU, even if it is in-state. At CSU, we balanced the time of possession, which helped a ton. The O is part of the equation. The turnovers came and I think the sacks will eventually come too. Part of that is getting opposing O's in downs and distances they do not want. From SDSU to now, I see a bunch of progress. It seems like the layers--DL, LBs, S and CB's are getting on the same page. The DL may have had to focus more on gaps, setting an edge, playing disciplined (maybe hamstrung) rather than necessarily going for the big play. If the layers are there, the DL/Edge can take more chances. I think some guys will gain more confidence, play free-er, balling out and there will be more big DL plays. Once the D install is mostly in, it may allow for more bull rush on the QB and sack hunting for the DL. I don't think we necessarily have a beast like that kNU's NT (did that guy go to the Dominican Republic for enhancement?), but I see an upgrade in talent and specifically depth there. It is just having those guys play more games together as an entire D, even through injuries. Home games and crowd noise should help them this week.

We ran a lot more 11 personnel last night. It makes a difference. Smalls is improving every week. Young RBs are also showing what they can do and are being rotated well to best utilize their talents. OL starting to show it can go forward and get a push in short yardage situations - we looked really good on the QB sneak and in goal line.
We've got a ways to go, but the trajectory is where it needs to be. Keep it up and we'll have a team in the final third of the season which would whip our team from the first third of the season.

Only half from RBs. We need to run every damn drive. As soon as teams t off it gets ugly
I'm all for zero designed runs, and he does need to tuck and run at times like he did last night.
I’ve convinced myself they don’t run those because it doesn’t produce highlight film type catches.
What about Wildcat with Walter Taylor, he is huge and fast and way down the depth chart. The theory that Shedeur has to do it all is fools gold.

Omarion Miller seems like a pretty good YAC receiver contender. Get him some quick slants.
