We haven't had a running back or much of a game since Carr retired. RR ignored that facet of the game as well. Hope Toussaint can carry the load over the last 4 games, DR must be healthy for OSU!

We still need a power back. Hopkins's inability to hang onto the football has probably cost us a 4th and short the past two weeks. Watching Boom Herron at OSU has reminded me how much we need a stud tailback. We need Brionte Dunn badly. I like Toussaint okay, but he probably doesn't get to the outside on some of those runs against a decent "D".

UM averaged 238 yards per game rushing last year.
Problem was that DR had 3/4 of those totals. Was really nice to see the running game on Saturday and I thought DR was pretty decent throwing as well. Taken from saturday's presser:
Denard, do you feel half the defense going with you on the jet sweep fakes? Denard: “Coach Fred -- Freddy J -- he told us one good fake equals two blocks. I just run full speed and hope somebody runs with me.”

Truth somewhere between extremes is my own opinion.

...... I'd add that Borges favors a different approach to the offense than one that employs a featured back who is going to carry the ball 25 times a game.
I'd also like to think that, as it has been reported he did, Fred Jackson did talk with him about changing that approach, convinced him to do so and he did. Worked out well. Fred Jackson knows a thing or two about RBs in Michigan's offense.Mission to CFB's National Championship accomplished. But the shine on the NC Trophy is embarrassingly wearing off. It's M B-Ball ..... or hockey or volley ball or name your college sport favorite time ...... until next year.

Good to see Fitz establish himself. Hopefully he can keep up the yards when we face a bit more stout defenses these next couple games. Hard to tell how much of that was good play, good execution by Fitz and how much was a poor Purdue defense.
