We got lucky on those two Gore runs... we are getting zero push on run plays. This is my personal number one worry for the season. We need to have 2 yards be the minimum, not the maximum if we want to continue winning and have confidence when it comes to 3rd/4th and 2.
Please explain how those plays were lucky?
That 1st long run wasn't luck. There were 8 people in the box. There's no luck involved there.
On the first long run, Moran Norris blocked two guys in the hole and that turned out to be the only guys with a shot at catching Gore.
Norris was the unsung hero today...or maybe not so unsung, since we are talking about him.
Norris made a great play that first one... they had 8 in the box so when Gore got to the second level it was over. Great run by Gore. The second run, the RDE wasn't even blocked, and they ran it to that side. Terrible play by the RDE who looked like he wasn't even trying. Also the safety came in at a horrible angle and Gore ran right by him. These kind of things happen, but it wasn't like we blew them out of the water. Not as bad as the Arizona game, but still something we need to work on. They had some starters out too.
