Well our offensive success is really attributed to JC getting the job done. It seems like last year we could go 3 yard run right, 4 yard run left and have 3 and 3 and couldn't complete a pass or make a play. We had a lot, and inordinate really, amount of 3 and shorts that we couldn't convert last year. By the time JC had become starter we had resorted to running on 3 and short almost exclusively which is just not the way to be successful. This year his ability to make plays has been great. WHat we need to keep doing is mixing things up. We cannot become limited in our dimensions. JC making a play every few 3rd downs is great but we can't rely on that. Our running games needs to be able to convert 3rd and 3 or 4 and our passing game has to be able to convert also. If we become one dimensional teams will start to key in and eventually our success will wain. Gotta keep the defense honest. We have so far but that is the challenge going forward.
