What is the last year we were this bad at the RB position?

We weren't great last year. OL played better

And Tajh was a better QB for this system than Chad. Opened things up a bit.

we are so unsettled. no one gets enough work to get in a groove. we arent great but the biggest lack is none of them are apt to break a real big one like AE, Spiller, and even Rod. You need a back who can break a big play tokeep the D honest

Norton has regressed so much and Webster should just be a situational fill in.

Right around the time Reggie Merriweather broke out at Miami.

Our running backs aren't great but they're not bad either. Our Oline gets absolutely zero push in run blocking situations. If we get a decent run it is because they hold their spot and our runner squeezes by the defense into the secondary. You cannot begin to blame our run offense on the backs without looking at the line. I don't understand how they do such a decent job pass blocking and such a poor job run blocking. Whoever posted it earlier is right, our Oline is VERY clearly the weak point of this team.

Add that to a pitiful OL and you have this years offense.

It's possible our best 2 guys are too injured to play

Everybody inside the program who has seen him play says that Dye is a stud. It's just the none of us fans have ever seen him because he's hurt all the time. Z Brooks could very well be the 2nd best guy as well, but he's redshirting due to an injury.

According to Dabo before this season started we were "so deep" at rb it was unreal! Then Brooks got hurt, Howard doesn't produce (which we knew), Dye is still hurt(which we all figured), and now our only true fullback on the team quit this week (Flemming). Way to prepare Dabo and the Chad....

One of the Keith (Yusef?) Kelly years, maybe his senior year, we were awful.
