Stop calling it a "power" run attempt

[formerlurker]

This is my first post since the end of the game and not sure if anyone has mentioned this.

Leave the horrible clock management out of the equation. And lets pretend it wasn't f^ig stupid not to take two shots in the air once the last time-out was blown. Let's say a running play was our only option.

A lot of the posts I've read so far seem to debating Diaco's call for a "power run" attempt. But the fact is that it was a delayed hand off, borderline draw! Look how far the OLine is already engaged and where the play is in it's progression.

That's what's most damning to me, that's the 3rd strike.

I've been an ardent Diaco supporter but he lost a lot of cache with me yesterday. I'll start referring to him as HCBD again when he f^g shows me he learns from his mistakes like he expects from everyone of his players.

The same players I couldn't be more proud of.

Getting the ball carrier to the hole quickly as been an issue for a few years now. Not sure why it's happening.

This is a run-game philosophy that we do on every hand off. I don't like it at all, but it's not extremely uncommon. It's more prevalent in the NFL than college or HS.

Navy focused highlights but good backfield view of last play @1:57 mark.

going through that frame by frame Peart blew his block, his man fought through his block, got across his face, maintained his gap, filled the whole and made the tackle. text book job by the LB there, granted johnson ran right at him but that play was doomed from the jump. ughhhhhh oh well. on to UVA
