I love the adjustment in our run game tonight. Building the game plan around GT Counter was much needed.
Zone schemes are ideal when you're dominant up front, with gap schemes in support to keep the defense honest. Considering our injury situation on the offensive line, the decision to focus on gap schemes was the correct move. Give your hogs the advantage on an angle. You don't have to kick ass on the play-side, just wall it off or at worst, be in the way of the bad guys.
Our backs did a GREAT job of bending it back, even though that's not where the grass is supposed to be. Effective enough to force the safeties to be involved in defending the run. Our receivers vs corners....shoot
