All year it seemed we were reluctant to run the option out to the pitch play, which in the TO is usuually going to be the big hitter play on offense.
In the bowl we had 51 rushes by the QB and FB and 6 by the A backs. Those six plays averaged almost 10 yards each. 28 carries by Tevin, 23 by AA, 4 by Orwin and two by Roddy indicates we have lost confidence in the option pitch.
I hope we correct this next year with whoever plays QB. Some might argue that teams are taking the pitch away from us and giving us the keeper. But, if that's really accuarate, we are in trouble, because 6 carries by the A backs will not cut it. I think Tevin
partcularly gave up on the pitch too easily.
