10 yard runs happened quite a bit, the homerun 20-30 that we were talking about not as much. still more than other teams but then they aren't 'zone option read BBQ PB' teams like we are. going to that power style is a bit more than running between the tackles. and i think it has been argeed the Debord ain't going to be changing us that much.

Either way u slice it those running games and ours are not even comparable. Go back watch uga and mizzou game. Even Ohio state and Bama game we are not even close.either way one can hope for better days

definitely but as i said before i believe our lack of running game was more due to Oline and no quality depth than it was to scheme.

For those that are confused, yes, OU should have been a win.

Four standing out, two pushing for Top247 RB Elijah Holyfield

Powders Springs, Ga. -- Top247 running back Elijah Holyfield (College Park, Ga./Woodward Academy) is closing in on 30 offers to date, and while things are still wide open, he admits four schools are sticking out at the moment.

"I am really liking Tennessee, Florida, Auburn, and Michigan right now," Holyfield told 247Sports on Sunday.

Florida offered Holyfield last month, and that scholarship has the No. 14 running back int the 247Sports Composite excited.

"I got to talk to coach Skip (Tim Skipper), and I talked to Coach Jim McElwain on twitter a bit," Holyfield said. "They seem pretty cool. I really want to get to meet them and see how they coach. Maybe get to a spring practice."

Holyfield says two programs are making the biggest push at the moment.

"I would say Tennessee and Auburn are on me the most right now," Holyfield said. "I talk to at least one of their coaches every day. They are on me pretty tight."

Tennessee has one of the first schools to offer the 5-foot-11, 200-pound tailback. The Volunteer coaching staff have made a great impression on Holyfield - both in person and on the phone.

"I really enjoy Coach Robert Gillespie," Holyfield said. "He is pretty cool - I talk to him at least weekly on the phone. I like the way he coaches - got to see him at camp one time. I really want to get up there and see spring practice."

As for Auburn, Holyfield is intrigued by their tradition.

"Just their running backs," Holyfield said. They always have great running backs, and I would love to be one of those great running backs."

Michigan has hit the ground running with the new coaching staff, and the four-star running back likes what the Wolverines have planned on offense.

"I got to talk to Coach Tyrone Wheatley," Holyfield said. "He was able to come down before the dead period. I got to talk to coach Harbaugh on the phone about a week ago too. I don't know when exactly I am going, but I am going to get up there soon. I think I will like the new offense they run - downhill, run the ball. That is the type of offense I think I can see myself in."

Always hard to read a lot into these quotes but that sounds really good for UT. Naming them first then going into detail of why he likes them so much. A long way to go but we look pretty good here possibly at the top of his list right now.

Would like to see a couple of the CB predictions going UTs way. All AU for now.

With the capabilities of our running backs, you pound away at a defense enough and they tire and eventually miss an assignment...that's when you break a long one...in past years we'd let the opposing D off the hook with those jet sweeps...those are supposed to be changeups...we used them too frequently IMO.

You are making entirely too much sense, like you actually understand the game. That has to stop immediately. :)

IMO DeBord was brought in for this purpose. To get the run game going and bring some common sense and consistency to the play calling. Butch knew there would be a very short learning curve. Historically as a HC, Butch runs the ball 50-60% of the time. By the third year of his tenure at UC it was a run dominated spread with a vertical passing game and some cool stuff with the TE's.

Seen something about him either having a brother or some type family member on their team or had played for them. It was a Keith Niebuhr tweet recently. So that may be the AU connection. He seems to always mention us though so you never know. We also don't know where he is on their board

His brother was a walk-on at Auburn. As of right now Holyfield is expected to be the top RB target for Auburn after Feaster committed to Clemson.

I read that somewhere the other day about his brother. AU does look to be the likely choice for now.

I'm leaning toward UT pulls McCall for now. I think he was a OSU lean. With them taking 2 other backs already, Imo McCall might be open to listening.

According to 247, he has a good relationship with Gillespie and his relationship with CBJ is "by far" the best relationship with any head coach.

The good news is if we swing and miss with holyfield that Matthew falcon still has us as his leader. The two players really are similar in size and rating, so you can't really go wrong with either. If you strike out with one then it looks like we may be able to get one of them at least.
