The kid is picking up right where he left off last year. He has 309 yards on just 38 carries (an insane 8.1 YPC average) to compliment the 6 TDs he has scored thus far this season. Sark can go smoke a beer for not giving him the rock after Scarbrough went down in the national title game.

Scarbrough has more carries than Harris. While he may get the start in every game, he doesn't get the bulk of the carries.

It looked to me like the coaches know what they are doing.
Now, maybe Sark was picking his nose last year and didn't get this message. But i think we are good to go this year.

His vision is incredible. Love when we go into a pistol set and watching him choose which holes he wants to burst through. So much like Ingram.

Harris is the starter and while Bo may have more carries it's by design. Bo is a different type of back. He is there to tire out the defense.

Just a few more. I like what they are doing with both RBs.

Harris reminds me so much of Ingram. The jump cuts, lateral moves and physical finishes. He doesn't have as much of an "Ooooh! Aaaaaaaah!" factor as Bo, but he's our best back.

He struggled as a freshman much like Najee did until last night but was clutch last year. This year he has went straight beastmode. His vision and the way he cuts is elite. He is also dragging defenders for extra yards and appears to be faster as well. He isn't the most gifted athlete we have at the position but he is our best running back to this point. He would be a 1600+ yard back if he got 20 plus carries.

I agree. Get under center, run downhill and play action when you need to.

I don't mind Bo running out of the pistol. Let him get some steam. It's definitely a disadvantage for play action though.

I doubt we see as much of that the rest of the year. Hurts just isn't as effective under center and Tua looks like a true dual threat spread type guy too. I loved it though and I hope I am wrong.

I think they're using the backs just fine. We have 5 extremely talented backs. Damien Harris isn't always the most effective option. Bo offers a different challenge for a defense. Usually when Damien isn't working, Bo is

When is Damien not working?

We have a great rotation of Harris and Bo, no need to mess it up. The challenge is getting our other great backs some touches as well. I'm a big Jacobs fan and hope to see him develop into our primary 3rd down back as he gets healthy. Our RB corps is sick. If our OL can start playing like they did yesterday, this offense may not be stopped all year.

Honestly they are a perfect combo. Add Jacobs in and you have the perfect blend.

We all saw the potential for this before the season started. We aren't there yet but we are pretty damned good right now.
