Ameer Abdullah blog: We had a perfect play call

I think the run game has picked up lately because of better focus. Starting up front, those guys are fundamentally sound. They’re doing a lot of things that you teach when you first learn to play the game of football, which is coming off low, good pad level, keeping your feet driving on contact. Anytime you play with good fundamentals like that, you can expect some success in the run game. Along with that, mentally they’ve been sharp up front.

As a running back corps, we’ve just made it an emphasis to no matter what the situation is, try to get a positive run out of the play.
