5 yards per carry is better than average, but not great when you put it in context. His average wouldn't be that high if it wasn't for Newton drawing so much attention from the defense. All I'm saying is, if Newton gets hurt, AU is screwed.
Here is where I can tell you're not around football as much as others here. When your focal star of your football team goes down you don't try to replicate his production through another player, you change the game plan.
If Newton goes down, we go back to the "gimmicky" quick shoot passing offense that we had last year, with relief coming from Dyer/McCalebb.
Malzahn ran a really good offense with Chris Todd, he can do it again with Barrett Trotter, who can actually run too.

Yeah but then you have a week to get your offense ready to play with a new quarterback, and to run different plays than they've been running all year. I know they've practiced with Trotter, and they've run all the plays in practice and in some games, but it's not like switching a light on and off. If the offense wasn't actually dependent on Cam running the ball so much, why put him at risk? If he can run the same offense from a year ago that was so effective, why not do it?
