If you're making a thread complaining about what looks like a pretty dynamic run game because of short yardage struggles - you probably should have started an offensive line or fullback thread instead.

I actually think Doug is only barely scratching the surface of what he could accomplish with the run game in terms of situational play calling.
ETN could have hung 200 on the tinhorns yesterday if they fed him the ball. 

The defense giving up game winning drives is a concern. But you'd better factor in time of possession and more importantly how imbalanced T.o.P. has been late in contests. They can only jump back out there after so many 3 and outs or short possessions. Not to mention the squandered opportunities to score by the offense that would negate the "game-winning" aspect of your complaint. 

Walker and Allen probably should have shown more yesterday vs the tinhorn OL, but it's a bit early to be bashing them IMO. 
Lots of football left to play.
