Wisconsin was #5 in running %. We were #13. We ran it a ton, we just


weren't that good at it.

But I share your concern. A smash mouth running game is great if you have bigger, stronger, tougher players. The problems is that everybody wants those bigger, stronger, tougher players, and they end up at places like Alabama. For teams who aren't getting those guys, you have to try to out scheme them. These days that's usually done by finding ways of spreading the field.
