Klein's hesitancy to put Reed in motion whether for some kind of play action or RPO. Commits Reed to be a pocket passer

This is the most frustrating part of his game plan, and you have to wonder if he's playing the long game with Marcel and trying to avoid injury. Hopefully he realizes it's do or die in the playoffs and he finally let's Marcel run at will


100%. You look at Snyder's great running QB's like Michael Bishop, Ell Roberson and Collin Klein, they were all power runners who had designed carries 10+ times per game. Klein would have preferred a QB like Haynes King or Diego Pavia. Klein has used all sorts of window dressing to implement his offense because he wants teams to respect Reed even though he doesn't want to run him much. The problem is that 1 and 7 need a MINIMUM of 20 touches per game. 30 would be even better. The clincher against Mizzou is a perfect example, when KC broke the screen for 50.
