RB rooms that made the 2025 CFB Playoff.

[TheSingletron]

All of the RB rooms (minus the QB stats) that made the CFB Playoff last year averaged 125 yds/gm (5yds/carry), would be EVEN higher because Bama brought those numbers down. 

Without the cupcake games, stripping Arch's rushing totals, our running back room was 65 yds/gm (3.4yds/carry). DRASTIC difference for teams competing for the natty.

I know some people want to talk about Arch's numbers in the passing game that need to improve. I believe with our receiving weapons, if our rushing game improves at all... our offense will be clicking, and those wrs will be running wide open.

It didn’t help that Wisner and Baxiter never being fully healthy and I don’t think Gibson leaving mid-season made it any better

Love the teammates that Baxter & Wisner were at Texas but as players they were JAGs in every sense (Wisner was a monster vs the aggys & sooners though).

Baxter was getting pretty good before he got hurt

Which time? He got injured in his very first game against Rice and I don't know if we saw him 100% ever again.

Your best ability is your availability. Neither wisner nor baxter had that.

Are you backing out the cupcake games from all or just us?

Bijan, Rojo and Brooks and then drop off.

Sarks ability to Run ….. is based on stretching thd defense verticslly and horitzontslly.     We basically had no verticsl speed … aka xavier- mitchel- blue

Sark wants u in a one on one scrnario

perfect exsmple … bama  .   
 

wingo as deep threat is not it…. Maybe Cam????   is Mosley gonna stretch the def?  

Bishop is the Only choice that chsnges this Offense to truly create lanes in run gsme.

He ran upright with no drive nor cutting ability.

Hopefully he has more fully healed.
