Why did Phil Mafah only have 3 carries against Pitt?

I believe his last carry was in the 1st quarter for a touchdown. Why does TE not run the ball, which is the one thing this offense does competently?

I'm guessing Pitt was using a defense TE wasn't expecting. We shouldn't blame him.

Not a receiving threat out of the backfield like Shipley?

Some say the run game opens up the pass game Some say the pass game opens up the run game Our Tigers have lived a good living on the 50/50, explosive plays, hero zero plays over the past few years, this year they are not. Why? $6 million question Confucius say if something is work continue to keep doing it Only pass play that's had any successful impact has been to the TE When we're in the stands and know what the play is going to be James Skalski said it best saying over the years he has seen it many times Other Teams have also Dabo said we are who we are, now others know also The fake punt pass to a TE for a 1st down was 1 of the best plays all year Don't change who they are, don't change what they doing, change how their doing it think outside the play book, they have the players, call plays they can run...

If we had ran the ball more we would have won that game.***

Been the question of the season. They couldn’t stop the run and we abandoned it.

I even heard a Pitt fan on the radio say “why in the world did you quit running?, we couldn’t stop you”

We usually get behind because we won't run.
