Here's Scipio Tex's take on the current state of the RB room:
"A three-headed rushing attack started off with Christian Clark. He ran at 4.8 yards per clip and did a better job of hitting obvious holes. There’s not much juice there and he goes down at first contact. He looks comfortable as a pass catcher.
Jerrick Gibson will hit it up in there, but he’s not breaking tackles like his freshman year. Perhaps ball security concerns are limiting his stiff arm and recklessness. 4.8 yards per carry.
James Simon continues to demonstrate the most raw dynamism of the current healthy group. His acceleration on a counter play late was noticeable. He averaged 5.6 yards per carry and it’s a different speed when he’s carrying it. He’s inexperienced and probably not a trustworthy pass protector yet.
Texas had nine rushes of 10+ yards, but a lot of them were blocked up for 10+ with the RB adding nominally to the total.
This isn’t a very talented room right now. If you watch other college football, the contrast is marked. Collectively, they recorded a middling 2.25 yards after contact against Sam Houston State, and that includes 12 yards after contact from Ryan Wingo’s run.
Wisner’s return should help with some floor and pass catching ability."
