Kem, I totally disagree with your statement about DD's numbers being a product of the Griz' poor running game back in the day or as you put it "because he had to". You make it sound like the Griz threw the ball because they couldn't run on anybody which was simply not the case. That was by design. Read CHOSE to run that offense. He wasn't forced into it. Do you think if Read was a Power I guy, they would have thrown that much? Or wouldn't have had better backs? Kelly Stensrud and Damon Bodie were an extension of the receiving corps. Maybe I missread what you meant, but DD's yardage those years was by design, not because of deficiencies in the running game.
As for the topic at hand, JJ's numbers are incredible. But what I like is the Griz have already went with two game plans in two weeks. The offensive mindset really seemed to shift against UND. They were also in the shot gun way more than against Appy and ran some pistol as well. It looks like Kefense and Gragg are showing the ability to be diverse, of course that helps given the Griz have an extremely diverse QB.
