At this point it's become a habit in all the big games and it's alarming. How hard is it to give an AA RB carries? 20 carries in the Playoffs and 4 carries in the Championship game! Never seen a situation in Football where the biggest obstacle for an AA RB is his own staff. Running more designed...
It's silly though because it's a catch (possession, control and even 2 feet) INBOUNDS, what happens out of bounds should mean zilch. Yet, you can dive at the pylon and loose the ball after and it's considered a TD.
Why does this staff refuse to MAKE SURE the best player gets at least 15-18 touches a game. He's the RB not Charles Woodson, it's redundant at this point and you can't wait until the 2nd half to get him touches down 2 scores.
I concur, this will come down to stopping them from running the ball down our throat to kill the clock. At least they went with that below average K over the former All Conference guy from Texas.
For the life of me I'll be so excited when we have some hogs up front like the days of Young and Zordich. They have 190lb backs just running up the gut like it's nothing
Orvlosky doing a brilliant job explaining what I've said about 20x since the game about OSU's defensive scheme doing an A1 job on masking coverages to confuse the QB.
