My only issue is

The running game... Some are thinkin it sucks and right now it isnt looking so good but to the defense of Lucky you have to get more then 7 carries a game to be effective. This is big time football you can expect a guy to have 6 carries for 100 yards... Now do I think Helu should get it to yes... How about making those 2 guys 1 and 2 and give them the ball all game instead of 4 or 5 diff runners..

You've mirrored my thoughts. Quite honestly, I'm glad this game has happened. This gives the coaches a way to see how the defense can react to the spread before we hit VT, Mizzou, TTech. However, the running game is completely broken. Helu is at least making plays out there.

I'll respectfully disagree on this one. The problem is not too much sharing of carries, it's poor offensive line play. If the O-Line does its job, there should be no problem with mixing in different RBs in different situations....

A running back needs carries to get into a flow of the game... Now do i dissagree that it does have some to do with the line. No I dont..

agree, the O line is underachieving, right now.

It'll get better, just won't be anytime soon...

GO BO!!

Seems to me like Lucky dances in the backfield too much. I also agree on the poor offensive line play too.

Lucy is an average back, that is afraid of contact as far as I am concerned. He is a great receiver and the past staff used that to get him his yards. Nothing has changed. Will never be an NFL back unless he develops a heart for the game.

This offensive line was recruited for the passing game. Most of these kids have had little training in run blocking techniques. To use a much overused phrase, they are a "project" or a "work in progress".

I'm pretty sure Lucky got the call last game for a 3rd or 4th and short play that was just power running up the gut. He lowered his head and hit the hole, dragging people with him for an extra couple yards, easily getting what we needed. Oops, there goes your theory.
