I hope our new OC can implement an offense in which a guy like Love can get on the field without having to pass block

His speed is deceptive IMO, but what impresses me the most is his field awareness.

Greathouse was a nice surprise at the B&G game.

With the departure of Diggs, I think he is going to be our surprise player to watch when fall practice starts.

Love & Price are going to make a great 1-2 punch next year, they both have speed.

the way love played against OSU has me thinking that he maybe the 2nd best rb on the team, would love to see him get more touches.

agree, not sure why they are wasting touches with Ford/Payne. They are fine backs, but Love and Price are different.

I get it, there are packages. Well it's time to get love/price up to speed on the other packages.

Payne, especially, offers a different type of running back to the mix. He’s a Swiss Army knife out there that has great pad level and can grind out short yardage

definitely runs lower since he is shorter, didn't like seeing our short guy running tall and sticking the ball out to reach for td with first and goal from the 1

You must have missed Payne’s TD. He moved the pile at the goal line and those weren’t little guys he moved. He’s a terrific short yardage back.
Ford’s utility is a little more subtle. Appears they’re using him as a blocker in the two sets. Might be our best TB blocker.
I think the five man rotation is working great

if he had moved the pile (only needed one yard) he wouldn't have had to reach out with the ball in the pile.

I'm not saying he's not a fine back, but he's not dynamic, we have 3 dynamic backs.

Ford was indecisive in his one run that I saw. He has speed but maybe not a natural vision type of runner. Great blocker and special teams though.

Love is going to be the lead dog eventually, and a combo of him and Price is going to be nasty to contend with. Payne is a heady guy with low pad level that is going to always get his yards, but he doesn't have the extra gear the other guys too. Very reliable and you can start him when needed and he will be productive. The other guys are more explosive though.
