Only twice over the course of the past 10 years has Valdosta State ran the ball more than it threw the ball. The 2010 Blazers are hoping for the same success as those two teams as both advanced to the national championship game. In 2004, VSU threw on 420 plays while running on 516, or 55 percent of its plays. Meanwhile, in 2002, VSU ran the ball 548 times while throwing it 547 times. Valdosta State’s other national championship season, 2007, saw the Blazers run 479 times and pass on 524 occasions, or 52 percent in favor of passing. The 52 percent pass-to-run ratio was the lowest “pass-happy” Blazer offense from 2000 to 2009.
