I don’t think most people realize how much crap these coaches deal with when it comes to things like how many carries they are getting… I remember Darrell Williams HS coach saying that Frank Wilson would have a player and parent in his office every week of Fournette’s freshman year complaining to him.

Aside from blocking on passing downs, what do we gain giving carries to Williams instead of Jackson, Holly and Durham?
At some point, a RB needs to step up and dominate the game. Diggs, Williams and Cain were "serviceable" by committee but were never game breakers.
When was the last time an LSU RB took the handoff with us expecting a possible 40+ yard burst to the endzone?

We all say that, but Frank ran Fournette 300 times in 2015. That year he had a top 5 RB freshman in Guice and a damn good 4 star sophomore in Williams who combined for 100 carries.

Now that may be how he changed now, but I still don't believe that. Diggs was getting the vast majority of carries before he started breaking down. If you take out the blowouts of Miss St and Army, and the Bama game that required Daniels to be super man, this is how Diggs carried the ball;

14 vs Arky
19 vs Ole Miss
24 vs Mizzu
18 vs Auburn

He also had 15 vs Grambling in his first start. That's 90 carries in 5 games, or 18 carries per game. Daniels was averaging about 11.5 carries per game. That means nearly 30 carries per game were allotted to those two during a 5 game stretch.

All in all, I could easily see Jackson with 16 per game, Williams or Durham with 10 per game, and the other two (one of Durham and William along with Holly), notching about 6 a piece per game.

I really wish he’d tighten up the rotation a little. I miss the days of a guy getting 20+ carries and imposing his will as the game went on.

Hester, Scott, Ridley, Ware, Hill, Fournette, Guice… it works in the spread too see Clyde and TDP.
