Arkansas exposed everything. Nothing has changed with the base offensive game plan. Sark believes he must establish the run for the Run Pass option to be effective. He is counting on his weakest position on the team, the offensive line to establish his plan, and committing Bijan between the tackles head on into the other teams strength with stacked boxes and a running back not built to move piles. Bijan has been ineffective in breaking those failed attempts outside and is getting very little lead blocking help from other backs or big bodies like used on our last touchdown. The QB is made to work out of a pocket that mostly doesn't exist, and is apparently discouraged from running even when that proves to be the most viable option. The QB has failed to check down to the safety valve, which is mostly Bijan who has been open in the flat repeatedly. Bijan, even if spied, has a much better chance of success in space.
We can use other excuses like talent, mentality, lack of execution and on and on. Until the hard headed coach works with what is our best chance for success, we will keep failing. We play right into the other teams plan. Totally predictable.

“The running game was tough. We knew that coming in,” Sarkisian said, noting Baylor’s strong defensive front. “These guys [Baylor] have a big unit up front. They’re really good at nose tackle, which we talked about, and they made that aspect of it hard."
" But the run game, when that doesn’t go the way we want it to go, that shifts our style of offense that we really want to be, so we’ve got to continue to grind at that, to find. way to effectively run the football so that we can utilize the play-action pass the way we want to.”
