Yeah, running the ball is our MO, and we won't abandon it. Put it this way, if we can't run on Sat., we will most certainly lose the game. Our defense is not strong enough to stay on the field for extended periods of time. However, even though our running game is to be expected, I remain optimistic that it can happen, as Nd's run defense doesn't look very strong.
It's possible that the coaches were hiding plays during the first two games. We have many athletes who will be able to execute trick plays. Don't be surprised if you see at least 3-4 employed on Sat.
