RUN THE BALL SARK

I disagree completely. If you can keep rotate to where all your players have fresh legs at the end of the game, you'll always own the fourth quarter. I don't think Bo looks so dominant late against Auburn and UW if he plays every snap of the game early.
If Sark gives the other guys more touches against Clemson, we win that game.
Dude I think you're underestimating the conditioning level of these guys. If we run the ball 30 times in a game, and divide it up between 5 guys that's 6 carries per guy - completely unnecessary.
Any of our backs could carry it 30 times in a game without issue. These guys are in unbelievable shape, and trust me when I say they're rarely happy about being taken out.
Bo Scarbrough was absolutely dominant in the game. His injury had nothing to do with being overused. In fact, he broke off a huge run on the play he got injured.
If anything, he was underutilized before his injury, considering that he was the only effective part of our offense. There was no reason to give 10-15 carries to Harris and Jacobs in a game where Bo was so clearly dominating.
There are so many instances of running backs under Saban, running it over 30 times, and being the most dominant in the 4th quarter, so idk what you're talking about.

If I see Jacobs transfer for not enough carries I'm gonna be furious.

Why? He might be the 4th best back on the team. He, Emmons, and Harris are almost identical in ability. Somebody's gonna get left out

In the national title Bo had 5.8 yards per carry, Harris had 4.8, and Jacobs had 8, so it's not like Bo was getting 10 yards a pop and then the others were getting stuffed.
With RB depth being such a strength, I don't understand why you don't want us to use it next season.

Imagine this. You've got Hurts with Bo and Jacobs to either side of him. Jacobs motions out to the far side as the ball is snapped. If a player tracks Jacobs, Hurts gives it to Bo. If no one tracks Jacobs, Hurts tosses it out where you have numbers on the outside.
That's a play that any QB can make and would've helped clear out the box against Clemson. Instead Sark went with the same wide receiver screen 5 or 6 times. To be fair though, us running that screen so many times is why OJ wasn't covered on his touchdown.
