DW will have to run effectively and by design

Many wonder why he hasn't thus far. Seems there are two likely explanations:
1. We've been holding back for this game like last year vs. ND.
2. He's trying to prove he's more of a passer than a runner. To me, being labeled a dual threat would be a compliment, and I truly hope he understands that and embraces his God-given talent.
For the sake of our season, DW and the offensive coaches will have to take what is there, without hesitation.
Go Tigers!

Do people really questions that we haven't been running him on purpose?
I think this also applies to the playbook. If it isn't obvious just look at the 2 halves of the GT game.

We've been in control of every game, start to finish, aside from the last minute against Auburn (fluke run out of bounds via Gallman). I also feel like we've been playing down to our opponents this year.
With all the lofty expectations, has it been tough for our team to stay motivated?
I think the boys will be ready to play.

Can I be honest? I've grown to hate the predictable Deshaun-designed-run on 3rd & short. All night long in GTech, you could literally predict a QB draw every time on 3rd and less than 4 and be right 90% of the time. I'm all for designed run plays but either the line has to do a better job opening the hole, Deshaun has to do a better job of choosing which hole to take, or we have to get more creative. When drunk Tech fans are predicting plays with almost absolute certainty, I'd imagine Louisville'a DC has a paragraph of notes about how and when we do it.

DW has also forced the ball either throwing in coverage or 40 yards down field instead of running for a easy first down.
I have seen him do this a few times this season, with nothing but space in front of him throw an incomplete pass.

Morris got criticized for his play calling in last year or two here, and now it's Elliott already.

Doubt Watson debates his label when he drops back to pass.
