re: I think a portion of our fanbase needs a lesson in offensive balance

Lattimore also got hurt that year, remember?

very true i didn't consider that, so the better measure will be team as a whole then instead of one players output since neither contributed for the full year.

attempts:
Razorbacks rushed 421 times that year
USC rushed 522

Yards wise
2161- usc
1935- arkansas

Teams main rushing attack:
arkansas attempts yards
Davis 204 1322
Green 104 365
Johnson 41 253

USC attempts yards
lattimore 249 1197
garcia 105 222
maddox 74 391
shaw 32 165
miles40 152

looks to me like the difference between our offenses rushing attempts came from the QB position the year we placed a bronze statue back there as our qb. Or at least a kid as slow as a statue.

I think people greatly underestimate the amount of run plays petrino called that flat out didn't work because we were only able to run the ball consistently that 1/2 year with davis and even then petrino couldn't figure out to give him a shot til mid season. That alabama game told me exactly who our star at RB was going to be, he was the only one that could move the ball on the ground.
