We havent had a 1000 yard rusher in years. It would be a huge benefit for us.

He averaged 5 yards a carry and had 16 touchdowns. He would have been a top SEC with those numbers.

We have a guy capable we jusy have to get into a better offensive flow.

2023 Washington only ran for about 14 more yards per game, than 2025 Alabama per Sports-Reference.com

You guys basically did what they did, you just spread it out amongst more backs.

They averaged a yard more per carry than we did. Thats significant. The truth is if DeBoer can replicate that he will win a lot here.

Seems to be a theme in the SEC. LSU - 11 losses last two seasons. Georgia - 5 losses last two seasons (and zero playoff wins). Texas - 6 losses. Oklahoma - 10 losses. Tennessee -8 losses. Florida - 13 losses. Auburn - 14 losses.

A lot of fans are going to need to adjust expectations.

He knows how to develop QBs, even when he gets their heads pounded to the ground with his unphysical offensive lines

Maybe, but it appears as though you'll need a Heisman level quarterback

yeah because they get the bye from winning the conference, that isn't the gratuitous own comment you were hoping for

Ty was a heisman level before he got injured. But we didnt have a good enough RB.

Getting beat by 35 with a first round QB definitely bodes well for the future, agreed OP

Lincoln Riley put Baker Mayfield, Kyler Murray, Jalen Hurts, and to a degree Spencer Rattler, Dilliin Gabriel, and Caleb Williams in the NFL and he's never made the playoffs as a head coach.

That was just a different time. We were that much better everywhere else on the field.

Wont happen with DeBoer. We will have to have the right guys at the right time.
