This is the same defense as last season, a defense they made it to and played for a national title.  If Fields was still qb, we score on those late 4th quarter drives BECAUSE of the threat to run.  It opens everything up.  Stroud doesn’t even need to get big yardage, just the threat to run would keep the defensive honest and open things up.  If Stroud keeps it on ONE of those miayan runs up the middle, he could easily get the edge for some 1st downs.
