Longest run of the year is 25 yards (both Fields and Persa have matched that
number).

I agree NU needs more explosiveness, but the problem is that the offense is
designed to move the ball slowly and surely down the field and hit a big
play when it's open.  We've seen some long pass plays work when defenses
focus on the short game, but the problem is that the running game just isn't
there (Kafka is the team's leading rusher) - partly due to the RB
situation/injuries and partly due to the OL's lack of success.
