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

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

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.

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

Too much talent to be wasted sitting these guys. Give the rock to Wilbon and Ozigbo and Newby. Add in Spielman and DPE too.
ReplyFresh is best.
Replythere is alot of talent why not use it ALL !!
ReplyWe will have a qb that cannot run. So only one back is not enough options.
ReplyKeep them guessing
Replyinitially by committee until we find out if we have that one back that can emerge from the back. It is too early to tell.
Replytalent is key. If you don't have an every down back, don't force somebody into that role
ReplyLots of good backs. I want to see Adam Taylor used. He is a beast!
ReplyDistributed workload prevents one guy from wearing down as season progresses
ReplyIf we run the ball 35-40 times a game we need more than 1 IB to step it up.
ReplyWhy recruit them to sit on the bench. Just find/hire an OC who knows something about it!
Replygive the ball to the hot hand
ReplyWe need to use the fullback like the end of last year.Also running 60% or more requires a committee approach.
ReplyBack 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!
ReplyNewby has the most talent...but that kid Ozigbo has great vision!! I would start Ozigbo
