Do you think those are designated rushes for Holloway. It's a read. 

Even if I were to concede to your 80% guarantee, that's 11 whole rushes in the a-gap as a CAREER HIGH. How is that being force fed? 

Confirmation bias is natural and I too hated seeing Holloway run between the tackles, but the numbers don't prove that Mullen overused Brandon Holloway. Those plays just stuck with us and made us shake our heads


Nobody said he was overused. He was misused. Thats the whole point of this. "Force feeding" can also mean quality over quantity. It was low value use of an undersized SEC RB.

agreed , sir.

The large problem was that Mullen did not have a single WR who could outrun anybody. Holloway was the only legit speed threat so he had to play a lot. Not between the tackles, though
