In the first quarter, Luck dropped back to pass 13 times and handed the ball off 4 times. That might have something to do with that statistic. Those 4 first quarter runs gained them a grand total of 6 yards, too, so it's not exactly an indictment on the prowess of our linebackers in the run game (Brown runs for 4 yards and is tackled by Keisel & McLendon, Brown runs for 1 yard and is tackled by Clark & Woodley, Ballard runs for 3 yards and is tackled by Hood & Foote, and Ballard gets thrown for a 2 yard loss when he is tackled by Timmons & McLendon).
