All of this is a moot point if IUP can continue to do damage through the air as they have. Anyone who doesn't see how superior a thrower Maxwell is compared to Lenny is only kidding themselves, so that's an upgrade, especially since Maxwell can also run if called upon. It would also be unfair to not credit the o-line with how well they've pass blocked. They have only given up six sacks so far, for an average of 1.5 per game. That's really good, considering teams know they're going to throw it a lot.
Take my comments as less a criticism of the running game and more a recognition that the IUP offense isn't designed to move the ball on the ground as much as it once was. It seems they've evolved, and with Maxwell here, perhaps they'll have an identity. I'm not sure they had one last year as they tried to do a little of this, and a little of that.
