re: Beating a dead horse: RB rotation

I would prefer something along the lines of 70% / 20% / 10% RB distribution....but that's not the problem.
All 4 of our RBs are good. But if the O-Line is bad, and we can't pass, and we go 0-13 on 3rd down, and we have predictable play-calling, and we don't game-plan for our opponents, and we don't play to the strengths of our players, and we have clock management issues, and we can't tackle, and our DTs and LBs can't stop anything up the middle...it doesn't freaking matter who is carrying ball.

We have plenty of problems and this is one of them. It definitely does matter. Get one guy into rhythm, your best guy. Fournette could be running for over 100 yards a game if he was getting 18-20 carries. The best guy period.
Fournette gets 22 yards on 3 straight carries (his first carries) on the third drive. Then he skips a drive, then gets 8 yards on 2 carries bringing his total to 30 yards on 5 carries with ten minutes to go in the 2nd. He then doesn't see the field again, til 12:45 to go in the third. By this time, Auburn is selling out to stop the run. We pretty much don't do shite after that.
