Number of touches per game

Pet peave. This comes up often. People say, "It is pathetic that player X only gets blank touches per game." We hear this often w/ Holiday, Keiland, and some young skill guys that haven't played yet.
Please realize we get roughly 60-65 offensive snaps per game. Looking for Holiday to get his 10-12 touches on O, Keiland his 10-15 carries, then you Ridley to get on the field, then we need to throw the ball more to Toliver and other young WR's, etc. You just can't do it all.
Everyone can want someone to be more involved, just realize you need to specify whose touches are being taken away.

The issue last year was that we had to throw the ball a lot #1, we were behind a lot #2, and coach had his go to guys. I expect more of the backs to get more carries with the above two issues not being so dominate. More ball control and fewer 3rd down and 10 to go. Last year I thought Murphy really got the short end of the stick.

not to mention that the defense last year couldn't stop anyone, which creates fewer opportunities for the offense.
