Last year was two different seasons, once Shaw relented on the Run game, and we became a PASS FIRST team.
-- Finished SECOND in Pac12 in passing, and 11th in rushing. Stark contrast.
With Costello (and Mills with Tanner McKee after that) and with a VERY STRONG pipeline of WRs, we are making the shift: THROW.
Throwing the ball will open the run. Shaw said it mid-season, "We were pass-blocking a lot better than run blocking."
In post-game comments, Shaw showed a LOT of confidence in Costello as the season matured. We start where we left off: THROW.
Maybe some Frosh play: Elijah Higgins (WR); if there are questions at RB, give Austin Jones some reps.
Bryce played as a Frosh (jet sweeps), so did McCaffrey a bit, more at slot back.
The other reason to THROW is in MORE games this year we may need to come from behind.
