That's it. It's not that we didn't run. It's that we threw deep and it didn't seem like, on at least one of those plays, that Sheehan had a short option.
Second third and one was third and 10 inches. Line up under center (which we did do in the fourht quarter so it is in our playbook) and sneak the 6'4" physical QB behind one of the best O lineman in BG history.
Period.
Then run the spread with a new set of downs.
Just do it. Get under center and run it. Use the weight room we built and push. Just do it.

Whatever. We won. Big.
Boom. This is my feeling exactly. Just not smart, but our D was good enough when it counted to keep it from coming back and biting us.
I mean, those might be 2 of the 5 deepest throws we made all day. Just not good football.

Every once in a while we bring Geter in motion and he stops in the backfield and stands next to Tyler and takes the handoff. How hard is that to defense when you know that the only time we run is from that formation?
We ran the spread with PJ Pope in the backfield on most plays. Couple of things must be happening:
* Geter must not be able to be used in pass protection like PJ was.
* When we go with an empty backfield Geter is split out as a reciver, TE is in for pass protecting, or five WR set is used.
* Bullock must not be able to catch the ball like PJ. Brandon must see him strickly as a between the tackles back.
This is exactly what my problem with the running game is too. We go 5 wide pretty much every single passing play. Then when we go to run we start off the same way, except the motion guy comes all the way next to TS and runs in place for 5 seconds before we snap it and hand it off. I literally heard the Temple players yelling "RUNNNNNN" before the ball was snapped on a play when Geter was back there running in place waiting for his token carry.
4th & 13 on PU 32yd line.. 56,000 fans up on their feet screaming, i held my breath the entire play trying to make as little noise as possible.. wouldnt u know Sharon would make the biggest touchdown catch in the history of BG Football, FALCON UP!
