Getting the Running Game Going Sat Would be a Big Big Plus

Perhaps inserting Dear in a few run plays might do the trick.

Dan is probably sitting there saying "shump, we are sending you right up the middle, they won't expect it"

Two things we have

to do...

1) OL has got to block.

2) We have to find a way to mask our weak secondary.

Really Cleveland is the weak link back there, others seem to be ok. Safeties play so deep there's really no chance for them on the underneath routes.

Also, shout out to Zack Jackson. He has taken an *** kicking on this board, but his coverage of Hunter Henry on that 4th and 1 play might have been the turning point. Bret figured Zack would bite in the play fake and Henry would be wide open, but Jackson stayed with his man in really good coverage. Well done.

Shump's running style actually would be fairly effective against their D. He looks a lot slower to and through the hole this year (not sure how much of that is OL but it can't all be b/c he looked slower against Northwestern st too) so he probably can't be effective this year, but we would have been better off running him than Robinson last year.

Shump actually looked good against Arkansas in limited action. I think he can do some damage Saturday.

#1 is key. No one can beat us when Dak has time to throw.

That's the only thing he did right all night because he was getting burnt all over the field besides that play.

His best career game, at least in the SEC, was last year in Oxford. 10 for 68. I'd take that in a heartbeat on Saturday.

He made a nice stop for no gain on Collins on a run that would have gone for 10+ yards on one play. Hard to fault any LB too bad for not being able to cover Hunter Henry. That guy is going to make millions next year.
