Algie got hurt, then Hine. Bernard was still hurt. Burt was still on defense.

Second, much more goes into the grade of an RB besides YPC. He might be doing everything right, but the YPC don't show it because the line isn't giving him a crease to run through.

I know for a fact that players are graded out after each game.

I don't think you understand how players are graded out.

RB is a MAJOR trust position. Between turnovers & missed assignments, it's the

I think this is what is happening. Younger backs are still learning to pick up

runnincoug

Absolutely. There's no way the coaches want Carter getting more than he is now.

Case in point: The muffed exchange between Tanner and Bernard last week

BeardedSpock

10/5/15 12:58pm

That looked like Mangum's fault more than bernard's

10/5/15 1:21pm

someone was wrong about the play but not sure who. Bernard didn't seem to know

fattycoug

10/5/15 1:25pm

Bernard said after the game it was his fault, but didn't elaborate

I don't blame Carter at all. Kid is living his dream.

10/5/15 12:35pm

Or the darn running backs that cant stay in school/stay healthy. If those

His dream is to average 1.6 ypc? I feel like if I were being entirely

SandYFan

10/5/15 12:55pm

Ha. Knew someone would miss the point. Not surprised it is you.

10/5/15 12:57pm

Right into the personal attack. Seems your argument is pretty weak.

SandYFan

10/5/15 1:09pm

OK then. What is your ypc average? Mine is 0 yards on 0 caries.

10/5/15 1:13pm

Just strikes me as small-minded to think "Woohoo I'm living the dream!" when

SandYFan

10/5/15 1:16pm

And is strikes me as petty going after a kid who works hard to play

10/5/15 2:11pm

I completely agree

10/5/15 1:34pm

There are also practice grades as well.

i'm not sure there really are great options behind him. though that is changing

fattycoug

Most of Carters touches have come as runs between the tackles

Bloodhound

10/5/15 12:49pm

Puzzling why his runs are all up the middle...

bluefish

10/5/15 1:03pm

Agreed. Most of the calls for Carter have not been optimal uses of his talents.

Burt didn't switch to RB until 3 weeks before Nebraska

Bgash

10/5/15 2:04pm

Burt was on defense until this last week?

southernfriedcougar

10/5/15 2:31pm

Guess I heard wrong. I thought I heard someone on the radio talking about

StantonMac

10/5/15 2:39pm

Yes, Anae first brought it up to use him right after Michigan.
