If Ehlinger ends up with more rushing yards than Young + Ingram we are in for another shitty season

Unless one of the RBs separates from the pack the reps are probably going to be split between Young, Ingram and Carter. 

That's why  I don't find Ian's take to be all that crazy. None of our RBs are going to produce big numbers because they are likely going to be splitting reps. We don't have a Foreman on the roster that's proven they can be a 20-30 carries a game workhorse. 

Not to mention throw in reps with Heard/LJH getting reps out of the "wildcat".

Who’s winning???

hope not Maryland.

The offense won 31-3. The D didn't have much of a chance. The offense was the white team and the red team was the defense. The white team always had the ball and they'd alternate 1st team O vs. 2nd team D and vice versa.

The white team scored a FG and two TDs to make it 17-0. Then the red team intercepted a pass and returned it for a TD. The 6 points were awarded to the white team, then they kicked the XP to make it 24-0. Late in the first half the white team kicked another FG and those 3 points were awarded to the red team to account for their final score.

I have no idea what the rationale was behind all of that. I've never seen anything like it. Usually when I've seen teams play like that the defense is awarded points for stops, sacks, tackles for loss, turnovers, etc. I'm not sure why they even bothered keeping score.

Oh we know what Herman will choose and it has nothing to do with the difference. My impression is Herman likes to run his QBs period. That is why his QBs get hurt at every place he has been as far as I know. People that know more than me may disagree and I would like to hear their opnion.

I find it funny that anyone would complain about Herman running his QBs too much. Good thing we never ran James Street too much back in the day, huh?

I want Sam's legs to be a major part of the offense. It opens up so much. I don't want Sam to be used as a battering ram in short yard situations when using a wildcat is more effective and keeps Sam healthy.

Literally no difference between running a triple option offense against 1960’s sized defenders and running QB off tackle leads on “3rd and everybody knows it’s coming” from the gun against current collegiate athletes. 

The play is fine and often effective. But use it as a change of pace and not as the only possibility.

It's Chip, but it's still good news. I'll take it right now.

This, and exactly this. We have 3rd and short backs for a reason.

"Derek Kerstetter, who ran with the first team at right tackle, ran with the second team at center. This will be an interesting development to watch once Calvin Anderson gets on campus."

Seems pretty likely that Hand is looking to replace Shack at center. This news in addition to Hand following the Ohio State center on twitter seems to indicate they want a different option.

Or just competition in general. We don't have the competition to push shack and I'm not sure putting Kerstetter in is a viable option at this point.

I want to believe... Dev is a faster Quan.

Surly kool-aid.

Lulz that’s such a ridiculous comparison by Chip. They’re not even similar. Quan was way quicker and much more agile laterally, while Duvernay is a straight line burner. 

Just in case anyone forgot, Chip has 0 actual knowledge about football.

You might recall that injuries to Colt McCoy received while running the ball on designed plays ended a special season or two for us. Maybe even every season he started outside of 2008. 


You might also recall that we had no running game and Colt McCoy had to use his legs and short passing game instead to simulate one.

Not to mention Quan’s best quality was his hands and never dropping a pass. Dev has never shown that quality. Not saying he doesn’t have it he just hasn’t shown it.

In one of the 3 seasons he was injured, and in two of the seasons that he started. 

The point being that, while running Qb’s are an accepted part of modern, offensive college football,  it is also shown to be able to torpedo your season if not used judiciously. Something we have recent history with. 

I don’t have a problem with us running Sam on called, designed plays. Making it the key to your short yardage rushing attack, let alone your entire ground attack, is stupid if you don’t have a 6’5” injury proof alien under center or some facsimile thereof.

Two years from now, when Sam is a senior, one of Thompson or Rising are still around and Roschon Johnson is a RS FR, running our starter a lot will seem a lot more feasible. Right now, not so much.
