I like the depth we have at running back, I think we played very vanilla on both sides of the ball, and obviously with our running game of how many touches. We don't want Helu banged up too early, and why waste carries for him and Rex in the WKU game, it just saves them for bigger games later in the season. I expect Robinson to get more carries though because he is more of a bruiser type back. I was impressed with the explosiveness of our running backs out of the backfield in the 2nd half though.
Robinson was the only one I wasn't overly impressed with. His first carry of the game was a loss, and he finished with 4 attempts for 7 yards. His explosiveness wasn't quite as good as I expected it to be.
But, collectively, they all played very well.
Good point on Robinson. I just meant he is built for more of a bruiser back, but not necessarily had a good game. I think on his first carry someone missed an assignment up-front, at least that's what it looked like, I think it was a run to the right side.
Who were the backs that played in the 2nd half? Okafor? Mendoza? I think I'm missing someone else...
