But, in our three losses, we have rushed for:
Baylor: 176
TCU: 76
Temple: 89
Temple Box Score: http://www.smumustangs.com/boxscore.aspx?id=622&path=football
It is very difficult to win with 2.8 yards per carry. Of course, most good offenses are not playing with a 4th team LT, a 2nd team LG, and featuring two true freshmen who didn't play RB in High School.
Dilemma:
1) we can't run the ball unless the passing game opens things up,
2) we don't have the QB and OL to pass consistently without a good running game.
