Who said we would become a top 15 rushing team?
There are multiple reasons OM has not ran the ball exceptionally well.
1. Scheme (rpo)
2. No Elite back
3. No bell cow taking most of the carries
4. Lack of overall carries
The scheme is changing according to Freeze and the other three would be fixed by an elite back like Cam. Freeze understands recruiting enough that if you ever want another elite back you have to feed the one you have. Thats why he plays elite freshman and gives them touches. Its for future recruiting.
I love how one year/and or one game changes yalls outlook on the difference in the two programs when both teams give a damn. Can you imagine saying this this time last year or the year before, that you dont want the best player in the past decade out of MS going to OM simply because of perception? With Chad OM had the most prolific offense in the league without a running game, but lets not fear OM getting an elite player at the one position they havent had one. Good lord.

-Freeze has been an OC or HC and ran his offense for 9 years. I don't buy for a second he's suddenly changing his scheme in year 10. Recruiting wise, that's absolutely what he should be saying to get Cam. No qualms there.
-My "position" has never changed. I want Ole Miss to lose every game they play. I don't pick against them every week because I want to be rational in on-field results. I was just saying that Skirp's post is a legitimate rational thought. In a perfect world, I would prefer Akers at OSU or FSU so we don't have to play him. However, LSU and OM look to be the front runners at this moment. I think most SEC fans would agree that LSU would get more out of him if we're basing that opinion on history.
