Comments on: Kelly and the Running Game https://dev.ndnation.com/kelly-and-the-running-game/ The Independent Voice of Notre Dame Athletics Tue, 21 Aug 2012 21:22:28 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: Anonymous https://dev.ndnation.com/kelly-and-the-running-game/#comment-18 Fri, 26 Mar 2010 22:02:32 +0000 http://ndn.9seeds.com/uncategorized/kelly-and-the-running-game/#comment-18 I thought the same about kelly's offense in short yardage situations, after watching this segment. He never has the QB under center, so powering the ball up the middle won't happen. We have come up short under Weis on many occasions on 3rd or 4th and short. Kelly might have better luck using a different method, most likely spreading people out, to get his short yardage.

* Kelly does sometimes line up with a FB in very short yardage and goal-line situations with mixed results. His offense is not necessarily meant to grind away at opponents and he'll chuck it quite often in short yardage and the redzone, so don't expect an entirely new mentality there, but rather hopefully better execution.

* I uploaded highlights from the VT game because it showed Cincinnati playing an elite program. It wasn't meant to really to push an argument. I have videos of West Virginia and Pittsburgh as well, but I have not edited them down because the demand doesn't seem to be there for it to be worth my time.

They did not have any semblance of a "classic" run game. I am not advocating Kelly go away from his spread offense. But his team needs to have the ability to line up on 3rd or 4th and short and gain yards when the other team knows it is coming. They have not been able to do that for five years. I believe that was one of Weiss' main problems.
