A solid win, but...

We pulled off a very important win. The defense played outstanding, LT played like it was 2011 and the offense finally didn't shoot itself in the foot. It looked like a Virginia Tech win of old (minus the missed FG) with playing field position and forcing the other team to make mistakes.

My concern is the complete abandonment of the RBs in the running game. LT can take a pounding better than most QBs in the country but he will not last 7 more games running it 15-20 times a game. GT made it clear they were going to make LT beat them running man coverage a lot and stacking the box but the off tackle run game wasn't there. We ran read options a lot again and they took away the RB. GT had a goal and kept to the plan. In the film review, I would be interested to see how many times we had a true hand off play called. I would have liked to seen more draws even just to get the ball into the RB hands with a chance. We won which is what matters but is that gameplan sustainable???

Side note, Caleb needs a little work with pass protection at the RB position. Edmunds is a solid blocker but he is the only one. I was also sad that we didn't get the ball to Coleman at all.
