RUN THE BALL
I’m a passing game lover. However, after looking at the film of TCU’s team, the most glaring weakness across their entire defense is their susceptibility to getting blasted by the ground game. Let’s check in on their recent opponents and how they fared running the ball. SMU ran 350 yards and two touchdowns on 52 carries. That’s 6.7 yards per carry.
Bijan Robinson, who the Sooners just saw first hand, ran for 216 yards and two touchdowns against the Horned Frogs. Even in a win against Texas Tech, TCU’s defense gave up 214 yards and four touchdowns on the ground.
If you combine those three games you’re looking at over 700 rushing yards and over 5.5 yards per carry.
Looking at the rhythm Kennedy Brooks is in coupled with Eric Gray’s shiftiness, Caleb Williams’ dual-threat ability, and the availability of Marcus Major, Saturday seems like a great day to get the Guard-Tackle counter rolling again.
Let these backs run free Lincoln.
