Thought on offensive game planning

Auburn is supposed to be a run first to set up play-action passing offense.

Emory Blake was targeted 13 times against Arkansas, catching 10 passes for 118-yards. On the other hand, Tre Mason was targeted 8 times with 6 rushes and 2 passes thrown his way. Does this make sense for what is supposed to be a run-first offense?

Loeffler is smart when it comes to football but I think there has been so much emphasis placed on repairing a struggling pass-offense, the true strength of the offense has been neglected. In short, he has out-coached himself.

Auburn finished the game with 65 plays, which broke down to 35 pass plays and 30 run plays. In reality the sacks were pass plays, which meant AU had 43 pass plays and only 22 designed run plays. One of those 22 runs was a positive gain by Frazier after escaping the pocket. So now it's 44 pass plays and 21 run plays. Reverse those numbers around and It's a far more competitive game and a likely win considering the score was 10-7 late in the 3rd period. At minimum, there would not have been 8 sacks and 3 picks.
