Here it is - His perception is different from mine. I don't think you need a big play to stop the blitz. Just a play.
This year, we don't have quite the explosiveness that maybe we did have," offensive coordinator Kevin Gilbride said. "So now what we try to do is go to the running game. People know that, so they come after you a little different. Instead of playing a lot of two-deep (zone), which is what they did, now they are coming up and coming after us. What you do to stop that is make a big play. We had a couple of chances to try and get it done. If we had just done it once or twice it would have forced them to back off, which would have allowed us to continue to run the ball. We've run the ball reasonably well, but the problem is once you start running the ball and they realize that's all you can do, they put nine or 10 guys on the line of scrimmage and that pretty much eliminates that."
