I kinda agree . . .
You need stops in this style of play. But it is so hard with the talent here. Every player on every team can kill you.
You need a lot of deception to run in this style. Jamel is just as strong against the rush as anyone in this league. In fact, their are only maybe two coaches that can be pushed, but not enough to run all day.
The box tweak is working out fine by the stats. Penn State went 9 of 12 for about 300 yards but that interception was costly. But that's the balance.
Jamel had the same amount of yards but to me the difference was that he could steer away from the int. His completion percentage was lower but the lack of a turnover helped is cause.
I just think if anyone runs it 20 times it lessens their chances. I don't know why but it does.
