Throughout most of his career at MSU, Mullen has had a tendency on third down to call some form of a QB run. We saw the play work several times early in the year in 2014, especially against South Alabama. However, the play is much more effective against teams that don't tackle well. By the Alabama game last year, Saban had seen enough film to expect some QB runs on third down, and the play wasn't very effective. During the LSU game last Saturday, I heard some people complain about how Mullen has predictably ran the Dak Attack on third down, so I looked up all of MSU's third downs this year.
Will Mullen Stay Away From QB Runs on Third Down?
