We don't have one. Woods is trying his best. but there is no vision especially on the cut backs. The offensive line is actually blocking a little better, but our RB do not have the best vision at reading the holes. I hope bohl emphasizes this in off season by bringing in some immediate help.
Great win yesterday.

I don’t know if it’s a running back issue as much as an inexperience issue and in both the backfield and the line.

Maybe we should occasionally just hand off the ball the Drew, and hope that they'll still try to tackle the guy running behind him.

Man, I'd really like to see that! What we have learned from Air Force over the years is that the fullback threat really opens up running lanes for the running back and quarterback.Asmodeanreborn wrote: ↑Mon Oct 16, 2017 10:26 am Maybe we should occasionally just hand off the ball the Drew, and hope that they'll still try to tackle the guy running behind him.

The difference between AF and us is the fullback is a different option in a different hole. If anything, the fullback should be used as a decoy and the rb should go to another hole. If you’re a lb, you need only watch where the fullback goes to know where the rb is going

I think overstreet or hall should be playing. Woods is trying his best, but cant read holes and cut back.

Kind of frustrating to watch...how many RB's do we have on scholarship, 6 or 7? And not one of them is given more than 15 or 20 carries in a game to get it going. Ugly.

I do think we should stop using Woods. He doesn't have it... I don't think I've seen him attempt to make a single cutback, and the way he runs, he never gains yards after contact. Only reason he's starting is because he had two long and surprising runs in the same game, and he never came close to doing it again.
Overstreet at least tries to fall forward and occasionally makes a cut.

+1. Give the keys to Overstreet for a couple games. Need to find out definitively if he's the guyAsmodeanreborn wrote: ↑Mon Oct 30, 2017 9:49 am I do think we should stop using Woods.

Agreed 100%. Let him start, and keep feeding him. Screw this committee poop, let Overstreet get his feet under him with 15 - 20 carries a game!LanderPoke wrote: ↑Mon Oct 30, 2017 10:26 am+1.

He looks the part moreso than Woods. There are moments where Woods reminds me of a young Brian Hill but he lacks something to make it click. There is no falling forward with him. He gets hit and goes down and its usually backwards. Can "falling forward" be learned or is a situation where you have it or you don't?Wyolie Coyote wrote: ↑Mon Oct 30, 2017 2:28 pmAgreed!LanderPoke wrote: ↑Mon Oct 30, 2017 10:26 am+1.

Although I think overstreet is our best bet, I still haven’t seen a single one run with purpose. I want to see someone run angry.

Yeah, last year we had not only Hill, but also Wick who could hit hard and fast too. Not quite the power of Hill, but still a good runner.

Overstreet proved Saturday what a bunch of us here have been saying...can't believe the coaching staff doesn't see what all of us armchair fans do...
