Agree completely - I was thinking about how a guy who literally ran into and out of a pile in HS seems to get tripped up so easily... here is my hypothesis. I think we haven't been able to establish the kind of blocking we need to get him to the outside where he will be able to be dangerous. In HS the balance often looked great because he has surprising power and can stay up when people try to tackle him as he goes by. But he doesn't have enough power to get by guys that are in front of him in the middle of the field. In other words he is used to running by people rather than having so many in front of him. If we can get AA some blocking and get him outside, he is going to look phenomenal.
