Offensive Scheme

[PhoenixHawk]

It's like (actually not "like;" it IS) they try to outsmart the opposing coaches, thinking "well the run is working, so they'll try to stop it, so we'll trick them and pass instead."

But ultimately and invariably they outsmart themselves. Too clever by half. And it leaves points and victories on the field.

The first rule of offense is never, ever abandon what is working. Ever. The second rule is: see the first rule.

It's cool to switch things up and catch the other team off guard. But it's even cooler to force them to stop you when you've got something working instead of pulling the plug yourself based upon possibly unfounded assumptions.

Hayden always said "you scratch where it itches," and you keep doing something that works until they figure out how to stop it. KF should have been paying closer attention.

^^^ this! I need a bigger "like" for that post. If they would have done that in the first game Iowa would be 1-0 right now.

Iowa should have 2 running backs well over 100 yards on Saturday.
