Should be higher. I have him Top 3-5. Maybe first. Only a lack of carries will slow him down.
I find it sad. Everyone knows you don’t run a 155 pound guy straight into the line over and overI find it funny that only 2 years ago, everyone was singing the praises for AK.
Now he's hardly mentioned. Smh.
This!!I find it sad. Everyone knows you don’t run a 155 pound guy straight into the line over and over
His production has declined as wellI find it funny that only 2 years ago, everyone was singing the praises for AK.

Funny, both Frost and Huep did this. Seems to me that there is something there.I find it sad. Everyone knows you don’t run a 155 pound guy straight into the line over and over

You would think that 2 coaches who had us at 25-1 would know what’s best for the team over message board fans, but until someone can tell me why we keep doing this, I’ll say it’s flat out not working. It simply doesn’t work. What can 0-2 yard gains do you on 1st and 2nd downs, other than continuously leaving the offense in 3rd and long situations?Funny, both Frost and Huep did this.

Allegedly brings the secondary closer to
the box and sets up the big play
No.. it isn’t a worthless opinion. Taj would have been the better option.My (admittedly worthless) opinion is that Taj+McCrae would have been a more dominant duo.
I just mean I'm not a football coach. I do think I'm right.No.. it isn’t a worthless opinion. Taj would have been the better option.
If Killins was the strategy, then it wasn’t scaring anyone.
Now let’s hear all the posts saying that we scored 40 a game anyway. That so much doesn’t mean a thing. Maybe we could have scored 50-60
Going up the middle to bring the secondary up/in is a good strategy... if you are successful enough to be a threat up the middle. If the run is getting stuffed by the Dline, secondary won't come up. A bigger back is better in this strategy. My (admittedly worthless) opinion is that Taj+McCrae would have been a more dominant duo.
Personnel usage in the fiesta bowl (among other things) is still confusing to me.
I’m pretty sure it was the perfect storm his first 2 years. No film on him yet and good blocking.seems like AKs threat to take it to the house has diminished significantly over time.......
Agree. Trying to understand this for a long time... maybe it would make sense to run him to the outside in order to set him up for a run inside, but I can't see running him inside over and over in order to bring the secondary up.I think it comes down to AK being more of a space player and McCrae being able to read the defense better and adjusting his cuts. I feel like AK doesn't have the vision McCrae does. I don't think that make him less potent, but I think CJH needs to utilize him outside and in space (i.e. bubble screens)

Additionally, Heupel went away from it slightly during the end of the year.

I think major strengths of AKs are resiliency and work capacity. He doesn't fatigue or slow down after running hard over and over again. This probably lets Heup just use one back for long drives without worrying about the run game stalling as a result of fatigue. I would prefer he use two backs (or anything else) but he has his style and doesn't seem to change it for much (so far).
I think Heup could make any one of a few possible adjustments and see more success.
Maybe he feels less obligation to use AK this season? Last season he would have started the season with fans hating him and questioning his every decision if he didn't use AK. I am excited and nervous to see personnel usage this season.
It’s not pointless. There’s ALWAYS room for improvement. We could have lost multiple games and still could. Killins did nothing on one drive vs LSU. He ran out of bounds for a loss.You can but it is pointless.
Because when they run film on the games there is something happening that we dont see but they like. They study all of this stuffIt’s not pointless. There’s ALWAYS room for improvement.

It’s simply NOT effective. Why do something continuously that isn’t working? Isn’t that the definition of insanity?

That’s cool. They can study and see all they want.Because when they run film on the games there is something happening that we dont see but they like. They study all of this stuff
Insert #30 and hit the X button.That’s cool. They can study and see all they want.
Hope that they run the same plays then. Just plug in #30 wherever #9 was supposed to be
