I’m sure we’re all frustrated to have such a great defense but still struggle to put teams away because our “juggernaut” offense with a seasoned QB still has not taken form. I do wonder if the title Sark was a part of with Bama made him a little stubborn since they were able to win with a statue playing QB.
Of the top 11 offenses in CFB, all but two of them have effective runners at QB. Whether they are more decisive and elusive when things break down or if the QB run game is a staple of their offense, it’s pretty clear that mobile QBs keep the chains moving.
Seems like incorporating a sprinkle of QB run into the scheme or at least encouraging the QB to go grab 5 or 10 yards when it’s there could help significantly.
I do hope when Arch is the starter that Sark uses his legs to keep defenses honest. These A-gap blitzes we keep seeing would decrease if teams knew the QB was prone to pull the read and run off-tackle.
