It has been suggested by another poster that BK passed the ball way too much last year.
"Imagine Nick Saban throwing the ball 40 times against Louisville, Navy and North Western."
Even when that resulted in a score it put the ball back in the opponents hands much to quickly. One advantage of running the ball is you burn up the clock and don't allow the other team much time on offense. Another thing of course, is it gives your defense a rest. Very important if the defense is depleted.
