This past season Nick Fitzgerald was MSU's "power" back. No slight to him, he ran very well at times. I have wondered why Mullen hasn't been rotating guys until he finds the one that most resembles Josh Robinson and just stick with that guy.
I get that you can't just will talent like that into existence, but having to contend with him and Dak both as running threats was nightmarish for defenses, and I would tend to think with a guy like NF he'd try to find a similarly complimentary running back.
Just look at the total number of running plays from 14 and compare that with last year. Then subtract NF's runs, and y'all hardly even tried to run with an actual running back.*
*Don't have the numbers in front of me but have seen them and they're consistent with my assessment.
