Heupel rotation of running backs

[pimo1]

In Pruitt's last year, the 3rd and 4th runners combined for less than 10% of the carries.

Our 4th highest carrier the past 2 years has taken on 12% of the carries himself and a bit more for the #3 guy.


I'd also simply say this is an ELITE scheme for ballcarriers. One of the best. We had gone almost a decade since we had 2 RBs averaging over 5 ypc...and Heupel has produced that in B2B seasons. He also did it every year at UCF.

This scheme is just so good and yet so common sense it's shocking it hasn't been the norm for a long time. The math is very simple, the fewer blockers, the lower odds of missed blocks and thus increased odds of a positive run. Get the guys OUT OF THE BOX!! So simple and so beautiful.

Some of that is probably by design and a product of blowouts... but a lot of it was injuries to the top 2.

Gibbs was a 3 star…so he’s not applicable.

The “fully healthy” thing is the mythasaur with that one.

Meant to preface that from when he was in the transfer portal after playing at Ga Tech.

I thought this started with someone asserting we need to land those types from HIGH SCHOOL?

So long as the OL can play up to snuff

I’ve read the optimism about the OL is high for the fall. Kyler Kerbyson I think?

Nah he was a high 4 star on 247. A 97 rating.

Joking? Think Kerbyson was dooley/butch years.

We get spraggins, Cooper mays, and mincey/Crawford back from our starters. Nobody is going to replace Darnell. So will the replacement for carvin and Darnell (nichols and the transfers) do the job? Let’s hope so. I think OL confidence will have a high floor so long as elarbee is here. Just not expecting a world beater OL until we can get some highly rated guys steadily coming on board. I do hope that Campbell surprises to the upside. That would help a good bit this year.

Crawford/Mincey flipped sides and should be a capable platoon on the strong side. Lot of different options to throw at LG. Expected Umarov to redshirt and develop for a season (originally at RT), now I anticipate he gets snaps throughout the season behind Campbell before taking over the blind side next season.

No, someone with this last name was talking about the OL. No Butch OL please…lol
