For any type of rushing attack

[HuskerOH]

Isn't it best to have any RB get into a rhythm? In order for that to happen it requires him to get 5-8 rushes in a series or at least 4... Stay in for two or three series in row to get the OL and him in sync.

Can anyone think of a time when any of the RBs stayed in for more than 3 consecutive plays? I can think of once or twice, but after that third touch, he is running to the sideline.

Is it any wonder the rushing attack is horrendous?

Devaney Osborne solich would work backs until they worked up a “froth”, then turned them loose to kill. We now have 2 carry max tap outs. Crazy.

Back in the day, we had a guy and three guys that picked up the scraps

Seems like our RB stands a long way from the LOS giving the defense a chance to react before the back ever reaches the LOS.

And it's not like our guys are getting gassed from long runs, especially this year.

I've never understood the plug-n-play mentality with RB's and we've seen it from numerous OC's around here post Solich.

There were a couple times yesterday that Emmit Johnson broke of a nice 5 or 6 yard run and then headed straight to the sideline. Should keep feeding him. Who is deciding the rotation of RBs in the game?
If we are being fair, based on position lack of production, the RB coach needs to be on the hot seat as well.

Satt prefers personnel groupings. And backs go in and out of the game based on what is being run next, what the backs do best, etc. The downside to that is, as you mentioned, it's less likely that a back will stay in the game for very long. And judging by who is in the game, things can be more predictable. Doesn't seem like we're getting any benefit from all of the sub groups.

Its best to block. We don't.

This is starting to drive me crazy, especially when we need to go fast.

We waste so much time in the 4th quarter running people on and off, which then allows the other team to sub also. Like you said...we are predictable.

It's like the guy that takes 10 practice swings on the tee then proceeds to top one short of the ladies tee....repeat.
