I think his problem is that he's trying to score a touchdown every play by going untouched. He could pick up 5 just by hitting a small crease at full steam, but a lot of times he'll come to a complete stop and look for a larger crease (try to go outside) and end up barely getting back to the line.
He doesn't have the acceleration for that. People get out of his way when he gets past the first level, he just can have trouble getting past the first level. It's kind of understandable though really, half his touches last year went for huge gains.
Kids a good back, it will click for him eventually.

this is how i feel. he's still early in his college career and he's having to adjust to a different level of competition and much faster opponents. Same goes for OJ.
