The running game got us into the playoffs & to the championship game.
When JMU got ahead & stopped the running game we were done.
Very simplistic. First, JMU was better across the board. We couldn't run and we couldn't stop their run, and if you are looking for the early turning point, it was clearly special teams. They beat us on O, D and ST, frankly 28-14 was closer than the game I watched.
IF you are saying we couldn't have made it to the finals without the run game, that is absolutely true, but the flip side is also absolutely true, we couldn't have made it to the NC game without Hunter's passing, and without the special teams we would have had at least one, probably 2 more loses and never even been in the playoffs. Football is a team sport, one phase is not more important than any other. My only argument is against the haters who think Hunter Wells is a coward and an inferior athlete. He isn't much of a runner, but more to athletic endeavors than running. Ever watch most MLB pitchers run? Sometimes throwing counts too! Plus Hunter ran for a couple key 1st downs during the playoffs, and while not very graceful, he got the job done when needed most. We should be holding him up as a YSU classic hero instead of beating him up.
Shame on the haters.
