I could be off, but I dont see Sark running much QB run game vs most the schedule. I think it will be need based. I will be shocked if Sark makes it a staple of the offense. The opposition knows Arch is a capable runner. The scouting report alone will likely keep the backside from crashing on action away. I get your point about him being the constraint on the opposing defense, but I doubt Sark will even care vs teams like SJSU, UTEP, SHST, UK, MSU, Vandy, etc. If Sark needs to use Arch in those games, things have not gone near expectations. Its a risk/reward thing.

Not to Ehlinger extremes, but I think there has to be enough QB run game to make play action an effective threat, and the horizontal game has to have a pitch-pop-run option with QB keeping enough to spread the D wide. Both ways, the QB run absolutely needs to happen at least a couple of times a quarter to keep it fresh in the Ds' minds. 

I would think, with Sark's gift - and love - for misdirection, we'll see some formations with no real possibility of the QB running... and he'll run. I think Herman called it "go fuck yourself", but Sark is classier than that, and will probably call it "DAMMIT!"

I think Sark's gonna call a lot of "go fuck yourself" with Baxter and "DAMMIT!" with Arch as well.

He's too smart and careful with QBs to pull a full MENSA, but he even ran Ewers quite a bit on tight 3rd and 4th downs and near the goal line.

Also as good as Quinn was "off platform" he wasn't running much sprint out passes. I think Arch is gonna do that a bunch, move the pocket and get tricky there.

Then you've got WR orbit motion one way, play action the other way, QB roll out the other way, and pass-back screen to the TE on the front-back-front-back side that the line is sliding away from with a pulling backside/frontside guard leading the way.

"the touchdown play" will hopefully not be that goddamn fake screen one way spin around fake screen the other way then throw deep anymore. That shit sucked on the setup and on the payoff every time.
