Grimes seems to have an almost impulsive obsession to call an identical number of passing and running plays in the game- which he did in the TCU and Illinois games, when- especially TCU- you'd expect a much bigger running percentage of plays. He's mentioned several times in press conferences how important balance is.
One thing that was great with AK is he found something that worked he would push on that repeatedly. One game we hardly passed at all and the next we'd pass all game long. See UCF last year where we passed 12 times to 55 rushes, followed by OSU game with 34 passes. If the other team had a weakness, AK was like "screw balance, we are attacking that" Z was the same in the bowl game.
Grimes seems to have a formula in his head... "I've run two straight times, I need to pass to balance the calls." It almost feels like balance for the sake of balance and not situational play calling.
