re: Why did Guice get so many carries late against A&M?

However this has nothing to do with the record. Guice had already recieved the most carries since his highschool days. Go ahead and take him out. At that point in the game I would have gone ahead and put in Brosette. The o-line was getting a great push and Brosette needs tge carries for next year.

Exactly.

While the record is what made me think about this, I'm not saying the record should have dictated O's decision. Guice's health is the main reason you don't put him in for another 5 carries when we are up 21 with 3 minutes left.

What I am saying is, is that it looks like the record absolutely did dictate it. It appears to me that O wanted him to get that record, and I just don't understand why?

Guice had 32 carries when he went back in for that final drive up by 21 with 3 minutes to play.

That is already more than LF ever had in his career. Why subject Guice to even more punishment when we have just seen all season long first hand how hits and carries can add up on even the most talented of backs??


Again, you guys are thinking that i'm saying O should have pulled him to keep him from breaking the record, and you think the coach shouldn't be paying attention to if he is about to break a record. I am not.

It appears however that he kept him in specifically to break it. Is that ok?
