Too much talent to be wasted sitting these guys. Give the rock to Wilbon and Ozigbo and Newby. Add in Spielman and DPE too.

Jim Andersen

Fresh is best.

Robert Dodd

there is alot of talent why not use it ALL !!

Stephen Johnson

We will have a qb that cannot run. So only one back is not enough options.

Paul Lehmkuhler

Keep them guessing

Jerry Williams

initially by committee until we find out if we have that one back that can emerge from the back. It is too early to tell.

John DeCastro

talent is key. If you don't have an every down back, don't force somebody into that role

Tom Duncan

Lots of good backs. I want to see Adam Taylor used. He is a beast!

Paul Hrnicek

Distributed workload prevents one guy from wearing down as season progresses

Brian Reilly

If we run the ball 35-40 times a game we need more than 1 IB to step it up.

Scott RideOn

Why recruit them to sit on the bench. Just find/hire an OC who knows something about it!

Visitor

give the ball to the hot hand

Michael Morkert

We need to use the fullback like the end of last year.Also running 60% or more requires a committee approach.

Kurt Boeckenhauer

Back in the day Thurman Thomas and Barry Sanders were both on the roster for OSU. Would you have left Thomas ride the bench? Now we aren't blessed with that depth, but both are solid. Fresh legs matter!

Visitor

Newby has the most talent...but that kid Ozigbo has great vision!! I would start Ozigbo

Must be the right back though. WIth their ability to get yards as the primary motivating factor rather than their ability to pass protect.

Jason Stephens

I feel it gives the back the reps he needs to get into rhythm and grow throughout the year

Alan Lancaster

To build some continuity in the run game

Keith Petrie

However... It would depend on how things go in any game. If a couple of backs do the job great also. But if one guy with a fullback and or another back can do it... Fine.

David MacKay

One back approach is the best with a back to give spells when needed...look at Abdullah..that's what we need to go to

YES have QB option run pass

Robert Lloyd

He seems more than just a mobile QB, he plays with abandon and spunk. Why wasn't he here right out of high school? But how could we have lost Ekeler? Have we turned into the dumbest program in America?

Ruthie Patterson

Mobile QB

Michael Gross

Running quarterback opens ton on new plays.

Scott Ferguson

Mobility is a good thing to have. Opens up a few things.

John Haller

It better or Holgorsen will need to be the next firing

Joe Hegarty

I sure hope so.

Alexanderthegreatandterrible

Of course, it should since we had a statue QB, once Lateef was in the offense changed to suit his skill set, and so it follows that Dana will tweak the offense to suit Colandea's skill set and with a new o-line coach changes come.

You would HOPE it does but I’ve got zero faith they’ll utilize him the right way

Michigan

Robert Schutt

With 3 of the remaining 4 January games on the road, it will be an uphill climb in remaining playoff undefeated.

Terrence Smith

... and I hope I'm wrong.

Randy Wolf

Michigan.

VAHuskerFan

They r playing really well but I just don’t see them winning out in January, they live and die by the 3 and it’s gonna end up costing them, not much inside the paint game. I see everyone standing outside the 3 line wanting to shoot the 3 but no one ever inside to get rebounds, wont work against Mich

Suicide Slush Puppie

Probably not - that's expecting a lot - but regardless, what they've accomplished is nothing short of extraordinary.

Jerry Goodwin

This team is really good and they will continue to give themselves a chance in every game, but...3 of the next 4 on the road, including Michigan? That's a tough run. If they win out in January and beat Illinois at home on February 1st, they'll be #1 in the country the next day.

Roy Katskee

They are living on borrowed time.
