Will we pass or run more today?

[volfan2024]

I'd say 75% run oriented offense today. What say you?

 

[CincyVFL]

Run, you are probably right with the 75/25 split. Might even be heavier towards run.

 

[RollerVol]

yes

GO VOLS!

 

[KBVol]

Yep.....at least a 65/35 pass-run split. Probably closer to 75/25 like you said when the 4th quarter turns into John Kelly time.

This. If the down field passing has improved I doubt we see it this game.

 

[illvol]

My guess is vanilla runs until they decide to try and get a little crazy and run some more. Rain in the forecast would say even more running.

Agree. I think like most first games we'll see a lot of "vanilla." Dobbs will make some short throws, but by and large I think today will primarily offer the o-line an opportunity to get some work.

If all goes well, maybe QD will get a lot of time in the second half. Any passing game we might have will probably be saved for BaB. Good TV coverage then---nice way to advertise the need to continue to build up a roster of talented receivers.

I just hope we see Dobbs with under 5 designed carries, I don't wanna see him running draws all game long risking injury. Give the ball to 6 and 1 and lets get out of there healthy.

 

[lovavol]

run all night long, a few passes, let the D prowl!

 

[10acvols]

I hope its closer to 50/50. This would be a great opportunity to see if we have a down field passing game. Not to mention build some confidence and give teams something to have to think about.

This...75% of commercials I'll be running to the refrigerator and 25% of the time stopping by the bathroom.

 

[joevol33]

I'm going 60/40 run to pass. Gotta see if we can throw on a smaller school before we get the bigger teams.

 

[vol-un-tear]

Will show a few wrinkles to give VT something to worry about. Smash mouth football. 20 or 25 passes. GBO!!

 

[BanditVol]

about 60-65% runs

 

[Cactus Jack]

I wanna see the Mac truck package on the goal line w/McKenzie running as lead blocker for number 1 in the power I

 

[VOLINVONORE]

We will do a lot of both. I hope a lot of the running is after catching a prefect pass. This would create a lot of headaches for the defenses in our future games.

 

[titansvolsfaninga]

Run until we build the lead and then work on the throw game! Showcase the throw game to all of those that were in doubt about our throw game.

 

[Dudleys87]

Vols roll.

The D will feast for sure.


Hurd gets a buck fiddy!

 

[VolBricks]

I will be more interested to see how fast we run the offense tonight. Will we get 90 offensive plays in tonight?

 

[davethevol]

Pass on every play.

 

[Dudleys87]

Probably not.
I don't look for Debord to do anything out of the ordinary.
I think the D will set the tone early though.

 

[YankeeVol]

60/40 in favor of running IMO

 

[volfox72]

We will run more I think, but I bet DeBord wants to get our passing game clicking as soon as possible. I hope we take a few shots deep to Pwilly / others. I want to see how well we've developed in the passing game.

 

[ecs4dvols]

a lot of ground and pound.. not wanting to show Va Tech too much

 

[Volview]

Sounds about right...run to win in a game like this. Pass to practice passing.
