In 13 games this past season, Central Michigan passed 382 times + allowed 28 sacks = 410 pass plays.

CMU had 466 true rushing plays. That's 53% / 47% run-pass split.

In those 466 running plays, CMU gained a net 2,235 yards (4.8 ypc) with 19 touchdowns. In only nine games, senior Thomas Rawls (5-10, 217) ran for 1,103 yards and 10 touchdowns. The next three backs combined for more than 900 yards.

Junior quarterback Cooper Rush (6-3, 200) completed 64% of his passes for 3,157 yards and 27 touchdowns with 13 interceptions. That's a nice 8.3 yards per attempt, 13 yards per completion. Not all short stuff.

WR Titus Davis (6-2, 190 sr) had 60 catches for 980 yards and 13 touchdowns in only 10 games. WR Jesse Kroll (6-3, 214 jr) caught 36, TE Deon Butler (6-3, 242 sr) 30, WR Anthony Rice (6-0, 184 so) 30. Five other players had at least 10 catches.

CMU converted 43% of their third downs, averaged a 7-minute advantage in time of possession, averaged three more first downs per game than opponents (despite a weak defense). CMU was 81% in the red zone, 67% for touchdowns.

They might have had a really nice season, had Rawls and Davis not missed so many games, despite their defense. I like the way Enos featured his top wide receiver.

Someone highlighted the pass/run ratio yesterday.  You took it in-depth a little more and I actually put some thought into it.  So here is what I think.  CMU obviously could move the ball, but like many smaller conferences can't stop anyone.  Well, Enos got a raise to come here and FOCUS on nothing but moving the ball and QB's.  He got a free pass (pun intended) on his first year like most do, we were absolutely blessed with Robb Smith's first year and if the 2nd is anywhere close it will be hard to keep him.  He get's a veteran tight end group with studs, a vet wr in Hatcher with some young talent behind him, a stud Oline, two top 6-7 SEC RB's and top 20 in NCAA, and that's all he has to worry about.  If he brings a 64% pass completion, BA throws for 2500+ yards and we have 2 1,000 yard rushers again, we will be in the talk at the end of the season, I believe.  Without pulling the numbers I think BA was somewhere around 55%, add another 30-40 completions and that puts us over the top we couldn't this year. 

This hire will do well for us.  I'm excited to see it play out.

we were absolutely blessed with Robb Smith's first year and if the 2nd is anywhere close it will be hard to keep him. 

Give me one reason you would say this.  Just one...

3 reasons to be exact . 1 Spaight , 2 Flowers , 3 Philon . We are going to need leaders and will be younger on defense . Got the talent , just have to make it grow up and fit. He will have to find new leaders on defense but keep the faith, he did it last year .

Just think what the man can do with a few world class tight ends sprinkled in there.

looks like Enos has a good down field passing game that can only help

Smith did do a fantastic job last year - particularly from mid-October on.  I was impressed.  Maybe BB actually can spot coaching talent.  If so, then hopefully his new OC will work out well.

I have heard many criticize Enos' time at CMU, after following Kelly and Jones, but people forget that he was basically forced to do exactly the same thing CBB was here, transform his entire roster from one built to spread teams out to one built to pound the ball.

If the South should lose, it means that the history of the heroic struggle will be written by the enemy, that our youth will be trained by Northern school teachers, will be impressed by all of the influences of history and education to regard our gallant dead as traitors and our maimed veterans as fit subjects for derision.

Welp, I gotta cover my butt, ya know.  Besides, BB did hire Ash....and we all know how that worked out.  So it's not like he's batting a thousand.

BB is one for three on hiring good coordinators.  My thought is this OC is more aligned with CBB's philosophy and will be much more compatible. The last two years of play calling just looked uncomfortable.

If we are able to keep him from making a lateral move that is all we can ask for. Hopefully if he wants a HC job he will wait for the right job. Saban has been able to keep some really great coordinators for a while. We are paying for them. Let's hope they fall in love with Arkansas too.

Ash is in fact a good DC, just not for us.  Just like JC is a good OC

Did they run any screen plays to speak of? If he comes in and gets our offense to run some successful screen plays in these big games, I will have an immediate man crush.

Their ability to throw screens will depend on how the offensive line changes. Past two years, the line has been huge but not very quick/agile.

Had those same three under the previous DC. One year of maturity was not the difference.

We just need to bunch one WR with two Tight ends and throw the jail break screen.
