It also kind of implies we can't pin our ears back and move the pile when we want to. Kind of surprising, but would explain why the play calling has looked conservative. Reality is that we are not winning the battle at the line often enough on the short yardage situations. It seems that the coaches have been taking notice because it feels like they have been calling a few more screen and play action passes in these situations.

This is the root of my complain with Byrd as a runner. When a defense knows a run is coming in short yardage situations you need a back who can break through some tackles. Byrd just puts his head down and goes down as soon as he gets hit.

Disagree with me, that's fine. I just don't see why Byrd gets so many more carries per game than Jim Jim. He's a special talent and we need to utilize him towards his full potential.

Let me clarify, Billy, because I know I have posted many things contrary to what you've been saying: JimJim is freakin' amazing, electric to watch.

I posted a couple weeks ago that Byrd should continue to get the start, but now I feel otherwise. I would love to see what Jimmy can do from the get go.

Above anything else, our stable of RBs creates problems/debates that I'm sure many of our Sun Belt foes would love to have.

Exactly. We have a good problem on our hands, that's for sure.

As one immortal poster once put it, "If we had 22 dogs chasing after a football in an abandoned lot, NT would still whip the MUTS arse by at least 2 touchdowns!"

I'm just paraphrasing, but it was something like that.

GMG!!!
