What is our Run Scheme?

I do not understand what Dawson is doing with our run game. Not only are we very predictable, the scheme just does not make sense to me and I’m surprised we’ve been able to get decent RB’s with what we do.

We use bunch formations and then run right up the middle every time. There are no run lanes. Truly a 3 yards and cloud of dust scheme, just done out of shotgun formations.

There’s a reason Lyle was the best RB today, because he has the ability to bounce it outside of the massive clog in the middle created by these bunch formations when Martinez and Fletcher cannot. I don’t blame Fletcher and Martinez though, they have no lanes to run through and they’re not quick enough to bounce it outside.

I get it ...but we ran for 230+ and over 7 ypc today.
Because we played Wake Forest. We have not played one team who has a good run defense. If we are fortunate enough to make it to playoffs I’ll be shocked if we run the ball well. We play a team like UT and we have no chance of doing anything on offense aside from Cam’s heroics. The numbers from today cannot be trusted, our run game stinks.

CIS, gonna CIS. Against P5 teams, the Canes are averaging 165 yards per game on the ground. I don't care if they're running a combo of the Wing T and the wishbone. They're getting it done on the ground. It's not flashy, but who cares?
Who did we play that has a run defense with a pulse? Level of Competition is masking things IMO.
 
We run inside zone, duo, counter (multiple variations), dart, tackle trap, outside zone, insert and toss off the top off my head this year.



We major in duo and it hits differently based on formations.
Hang on...are you saying IZ and duo are NOT the same? Asking for a friend
