Yeah, we got 180 yards rushing, but the running game just wasn't cruising like we are used to seeing it. Blue looked great in the first three games. Great vision, speed, inside, outside. He probably could have opened up the playbook for us some more.

Maybe a little, but I think it had I do more w/ Auburn stacking 8/9 in the box & daring Mett to beat them. The blueprint is out. Until we hit a few long passes down the field, defenses will continue to simply outman us in the box.

Ware was phenomenal. It may have been a good thing just to get Ware out of the doghouse

ford needed more touches. he was on fire in the 1st half and in typical RB rotation fashion, disappeared in the second half. so aggravating

he is the only player allowed to run outside the tackles without getting benched for it, so yeah he is missed

No.

Ware was running hard with great vision, and was catching the ball out of the backfield well.

Ford showed excellent speed to the outside. It's arguable that with the way the offense was struggling, he should have gotten a few more carries to see if he could break a big run.

I like Blue. He's a good player and by all accounts seems like a very good, humble person/teammate. However I just don't get all the hype for him by many in the fanbase. I don't think he adds a demension that the RB corps doesn't have already. Give either Ford, Ware or Hillard 15+ carries, and it's likely they would each get 100 yards

Blue seems to have the best vision of the backs. He is missed, but we are good.

Somewhat. But with the RB stable you really never know who shows up big time. I expect Hill to light it up against Crabcake U. He's the horse of the future. Of course, I said the same thing about Richard Murphy in the past. So what the hell do I know.

Without a doubt. Hilliard is a stud, dont get me wrong, but everyone knows when he goes in the game its a power run. Blue was the guy that could run between the tackles for 6 yards, then line up in shotgun and be motioned out to WR. Without Blue, we are 1 of the most predictable offenses in the game.
