He very rarely had over 10 carries the first half of the season, and there rest of the year only had 2 games with over 30 carries. He just busted huge runs on the reg. That's what averaging 6.5 a carry will do.
petrino used him as often as spurrier used lattimore and everyone said spurrier was running lattimore into the ground at the time.

Balance is and always should be about plays.
50% run/50% pass is balance
66% run/33% pass is a run heavy offense.
If you have one pass play that goes for 80 yards and 40 run plays that combine for 80 yards.. is that balance? I don't think so.
We do NOT have a balanced attack, we have a run heavy attack.
We SHOULD have a more balanced attack, maybe 60/40 or 55/45 with the run bias.

So in half the season he managed to achieve 81% of lattimores carries. Petrino wanted to run the ball he just couldn't get it done.
