I'm not asking for Beck to throw the ball ten times a game and put the rest in the running game's hands. I'm just asking for them to stay with it. As soon as we get down in the game, which is pretty early these days, Kyle just abandons the run.

They did try. Torrain had 1.8 yards per carry. Look, I don't have time to post the play by play, but here's the
link. Just look at all of the carries by Torrain for 1 and 2 yard runs. Also take note that we were down 20-0 at the start of the 3rd quarter.
If the offensive line opens up the running lanes and they can get some yardage running the ball, you'll see more running plays.
