Our running game isn't asked to carry the workload of this offense. It exists solely to keep defenses honest. We could probably throw the ball on every down and be just as good as we are, but we have the option to employ the running game and still gain 4ypc on average and we've been very good in goal to go situations running the ball.
We don't need any flashy yards, just enough to make you think "hey are they gonna pass or try to sneak in a run against our light package and gain a quick 5 yards?"
Are you trying to defend 2.6 ypc?
You're right that we don't ask the running game to carry the workload. We have a dominant passing attack. That makes BJGE's recent stretch at 2.66 ypc look even worse. Teams are playing pass first against us virtually 100% of the time and he's still barely getting past the LOS.
