Kaleb Jackson reminds me of Kevin Faulk and Cecil Collins

The dude obviously has a skill set that no other backs have. He reminds me of Kevin Faulk and Cecil Collins. Why only two touches all game?

Could just be a rotational oversight, but having watched football for a long time, if a RB that clearly looks like they should be getting touches isn't getting touches, they either have a fumbling problem or they have issues in pass protection.
Kid's clearly talented though, so I hope whatever the reason, we see a lot more of him next season.

My thoughts exactly. Dude needs more touches.
My guess is he’s deficient in something. Maybe he doesn’t know the playbook well enough, or he fumbles a lot in practice, or he can’t block worth a crap.
But he’s very good at running the ball! Fast, powerful, good vision, cuts well and fast. He’s exciting to watch!

Carries were definitely designed to go to the seniors. Just part of the game plan for a bowl game.

Josh Williams is elite at chip blocking in the pass game. Jackson needs to learn that part of the game.

How much chip blocking did Cecil Collins have to do?

Watch Josh Williams in pass protection.

Yep… been saying this all year. Could have brought a physicality to our offense that we don’t have in the run game. I don’t care if he can chip block, don’t put him in to chip, add an extra TE, use a physical WR, just find a way.
Being too picky about what your players can and can’t do is exactly how you waste players skills in what they can do at an elite level. He’s a darn old school LSU running back so let him touch the ball. We going to need him next season. I’d feature him and some of the others coming in. When he’s a junior, those freshman backs will be exactly what he is so we need to get the offense prepared for that style of play.
We can do both spread and PA from under center with these backs and this OL. I hope we see more of it next season. A pistol formation or something. The OL needs to be more physical in the run game as well so I hope this is a focus in the off season.

And it could be that the offense we had this year didn’t need his physicality as much as it needed someone who knows all the plays and knows how to block.
We did have a 1000 yd rusher, btw.
Next year will be a different offense.

Just another coaching blunder.

He looked electric, but he has a ways to go before we can compare him to Faulk and the Diesel.

Guess letting the seniors play

Having a back who can effectively block is a key to this offensive scheme-
A scheme that got the starting qb the Heisman, and the backup getting his first start today almost 400 yds with 3 TDs.
You don't change that for a running back in today's game.

He wasn't getting in because of pass protection and seniority.
Williams is one of, if not the best, pass blocking RBs in the country. He will get drafted based solely on that. This was Nuss's first game and Wisconsin is strong up front. You needed that pocket clean when a new QB is in the game.
Look at the touches Cain got. He's gone after this game so Kelly was trying to let him go out with some runs because he's been a damn good teammate.

Lol, facts.

You got a player with the explosiveness that Kaleb Jackson has you give him the ball and worry about pass protection later. Josh and Diggs are solid players but Jackson is dynamic
