Not TOO many passes though. Too many passes was part of what got us beat against Belfry, especially on first down right after big ground gains. Incomplete passes on first down make it second and ten, and that's a lot harder than first and ten against a solid defense. We need to stick to our bread and butter as much as possible and use trick plays like the forward pass only when absolutely necessary. A wise old coach once told his team, "Only three things can happen when you pass the ball, and two of them are bad."

You are right on! Just enough passes to keep the defense off gaurd to help the run. And short passes, not home runs. Ball security is much easier to keep with the run. That is our game.
