re: Just talked to an ex Brossette teammate,.

Let me ask you two questions:

Do you think high school pitchers and their parents worry about being overused in college?

Do you think high school running backs and their parents are less intelligent than high school pitchers?

ALL colleges use more than one back in a game, but it's to keep them fresh during THAT game, not to possibly prolong a pro career that may not ever happen! So have fun looking for auto corrected errors and making a snappy comeback. Brossette won't come to LSU to make sure his legs are "fresh"

You are overly focused on "fresh legs." My point and post are not focused on fresh legs.

And the issue is NOT whether LSU uses more than one RB to save the RBs for the pros. Of course, LSU does not use RBs by committee to save them for the pros.

The issue is that LSU always has a plethora of running backs and uses them by committee; thus, as a natural consequence, LSU RBs take less of a beating before turning pro. In addition, lots of injuries happen because the athlete is tired. Fatigue induced injuries are less likely for RBs at LSU.

And that is a factor for a high school RB and his parents to consider. Fewer carries = less beating = less chance of injury (career ending or career inhibiting), fatigue induced or otherwise = less wear and tear before going pro.

You seem to be getting less thoughtful and more angry. Try to reverse that trend.
