re: How many snaps would you survive as a RB in CFB?

I'm 20 lbs. overweight and in horrible shape - ideally suited to hold a clipboard on the sidelines. However, if called upon to be a RB, I'd maybe survive for 2-3 snaps before the pummeling takes its toll and I'm devouring oxygen on the sideline.

He's going to expect you to block you know. And those 300lb linemen will have a head start running at you.

This thread reminds me of why I don't like Spurier. He abused Marcus Lattimore. Running him 30-40x a game as a pure freshman and then again as sophomore until he got hurt and again as a junior until he got killed.

I was a short FB running low to the ground in HS. I might have lasted a whole game before injury.

Depends, if I had Alabama's offensive line, I could be a 12-yr girl and still be able to play a full game as a RB.

20-25 a game.

I'm 45 and pretty sure I would get hurt coming out of the locker room

Before my ACL tear, perhaps 20.
Now with a brand new ACL, ZERO!!

I think 5 before I sprint straight to the locker room. Well, actually, I would need the trainers to carry me to the locker room.

If I was behind the 2009 Bama OL I would've won the Heisman, as would anyone at RB that year behind that line

I'm 46 and I think you need to hit the Student Rec center.

I'm 6'4" 210 lbs so you know I'd bring that wood..
On a more serious note, I'd probably run straight for the sidelines each play and the fastest 40 I ever ran was a 4.98, so I would probably be pretty screwed

Tore my ACL twice, so this thread can kiss my arse.
Does taking a handoff then immediately curling up like a bitch count as a snap? Nvm, I wouldn't even do that.

I'd probably take a wrong step and twist my knee before I was even touched.

10 or so. But I would lose a yard each time as I just fell on the ground once I got the ball. On the 10th run I go up the middle and get de-atomized by a LB and DT and they literally can't find my remains.

Considering my age (graduated LSU in the 80's) and lack of regular exercise, I would likely get injured on the handoff from a 6'5 QB.
Posted on 1/23/13 at 10:16 am to RT1941
At 6 foot 4 and 290, I'm not much smaller than those D linemen. If I don't lose a knee I'll be alright. But I'm not getting more than 3 yards no matter how big the hole.

uh, i'd survive exactly, zero.
