I don’t think running back quality is the issue here at all. Hill, Riley, and Jam are average 3.6, 3.9 and 3.6 YPC. Every game they basically mirror each other on performance. Theres mistakes here and there but that’s also to be expected.

What I’m seeing on tape here is just play after play being failed to execute from a line perspective. One or two guys are always a step ahead of the other or a step behind. If your line is failing like that, it doesn’t matter what running back you have. We ran a handful of pitch plays last week and only one didn’t get blown up before the back could even go upfield.

Running heavy pull sets and requiring our line to be quick is one thing. Doing it without the personnel to execute is another.

Personally I’d like to see some more I-Formation stuff and just re-orient to some generic power run if we’re hellbent on yards. Limit the pulling, let someone like Roberts just blow his man up in front of him and go man on man

I mean, we'll end with probably three ranked wins even if we sputter to 9-3, and presumably one of those losses will be a top 10 Oklahoma

We're >50% chance of being in with multiple 9-3 teams in that 10-12 region. We'd probably be at the front of all 9-3 teams.

Not happening

I know the exact play you’re talking about because the announcers pointed it out, but IIRC they stated it was a play issue and they screwed up the trap

Basically looked like one of Cuevas or the lineman was meant to undercut the other but they both moved laterally into the other

Jam hasn’t had a semblance of a running lane in any game so far

Probably not, looks like they’re all heading into the locker room and he grabs him since he’s probably one of the last going in

Playcalling has been interesting, lack of screens as well today

Simpson is currently rocketing up the draft board to the first round. It's a fair question. Game manager is a very poor tag given the throws he's making are NFL throws.

Realistically I think 5-2, that first stinker is what it is and I assume we'd go 1-1 against UGA/Tenn.

Mizzou wasn't really a game until we made it one with prevent defense, even with the fumble.

Hill had four fricking carries and people are calling for him to be lead back

Jfc

Hill looked bad prior to tonight and churned after the defense was worn down

Jam looked great prior to a concussion

Not seeing why any movement should happen
