Imagine what he can do with a good OLine?

His best runs always seem to come from the outside and he rarely did a lot from a push from the middle. I’m not sure if that’s because of his style of running or if it’s because we didn’t have stable OLine play that could really help in the center of the line.

I don't think the offensive line was terrible...

…In run blocking. Pass protection was different matter. I do think that a lack of variability was a problem with the running game. UC has two main run blocking scheme the ole’ inside/outside zone. I think there was an over reliance on the outside zone. I understand the urge to get Pead outside because of his speed, but he could be devastating with the inside zone. Look at Oregon and LaMicheal James, the ducks are a heavy inside zone team despite James being a mite of a back. I think Pead can do similar things inside if given more chances.
