Ball control on offense cuts down our defense's time on the field. That has to be one goal. Our O-line is 4 guards and a tackle. They are more built for run blocking than pass protection, that's got to be another reason. And even with 45-50 rushes on Saturday, we had an almost equal number of yards passing.

So yeah, i suspect our 3 yards at a time run game is by design. I just wish we had an occasional toss sweep, and at least one series in the first half that could be 50/50 pass & run. We don't throw enough to be good at anything but a controlled passing game. Which is very bad if we ever get more than 2 scores behind.
