I didn't get to really watch the SJSU game last week, so I don't know if this has any legs or not, but...
It seemed like this was the first game where they were allowing Lanning to really use his legs and run the ball. Zone read or straight runs, he seemed to be green lighted on that. I think that made a huge difference in the ability of the offense to diversify and open things up. Today, for the most part, was the most creative and diverse play calling I've seen since Loney was the OC.
The Park factor? I think now that he has show to be more than an adequate back up, the coaches have decided they can risk Lanning running the ball more, like they did today.
Just my 2 cents worth, after watching the game on 2 hour delay.
