re: What's with this myth of Auburn not sharing the carries on offense?

What I really like about this is how you leave out that the #2 running back isn't one at all, most, if not all of these years.
2009 and 2011 include running backs as #2.

It's the QB who will get at least 50 "rushes" a year on scrambles when pass plays break down.
I don't know if you're new to football or not, but the vast majority of Cam Newton and Nick Marshall's rushes came on design plays. That's kind of how the Auburn offense was run through the altered wildcat and read-option.

So please, tell us again how much Malzahn likes to spread the ball to the running backs.
That's the cool thing about offense, bro. You don't have to just spread the carries through running backs. Quarterbacks, running backs AND wide receivers can all contribute, just like Gus Malzahn wants them to.

Yes. And in 2010 your leading rusher was the QB.

Just started watching football yesterday. Trying to catch up on YouTube. But even I can look at the stats and tell you Marshall was sacked 32 times in the last two years. So are you telling me that there weren't another 68 times that he didn't get sacked and gained positive yards on pass plays? Those 32 are counted as rushes.

You certainly don't have to spread the ball to just running backs. That is a fact. However, when your main point is that you are running back U, you may want to skip the part about all the quarter back rushes. They are not, in fact, running backs, and only serve to make you look dumb posting their stats in relation to the running backs.

By the way, do you have kids? I bet yall have very spirited debates. I feel like I'm discussing something with my 7 year old the way you structure your argument.
