I run the ball about 75%, and would be VERY hard to get above that in DIII as the max play calling ratio is 80/20. Haven't won a NC yet, but been to 5 NC games and 4 final fours in the last 13 season. Also, I have 3 of the top individual rushing season in Wilkinson, including #1, breaking a record that had stood since season 42. Back quality if important, BUT o-line play is where it's at. The years that I don't get as far in the playoffs are years that my OL depth is not elite (otherwise known as the years that I have 25 freshmen). This is what I would consider a elite OL:
3 mid 60's starts (1 close to 70)
2 low-mid 60's starters
2-3 60ish back-up
2-3 more young linemen with good core stats
mix with a 60+ back and good results should follow. The better the back, obviously better results.
PS,
miami_jefe is the coach who I struggle to get past
