Mark Lyons said during the game that it looked to him like Bernard was squeezing too much trying to keep the ball, while Tanner was trying to pull it.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Turnpike Lane

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.

Turnpike Lane

10/5/15 1:13pm

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

SandYFan

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

I completely agree

There are also practice grades as well.

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

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.

First, until this week, there haven't been other options

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?

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

StantonMac

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