Rooster is definitely not an every down back but he really wasn’t much better as a RB3 in 2020 either. 2020 leading rushers: Harris 5.1 Chaney 4.7 King 4.1 Knighton 4.0 He only averaged .1 yards per carry more when used in a limited role. The second half opponents weren’t exactly a...

It took a entire season and a half for teams to make that simple switch? Remember, Miami averaged 4.3 ypc through the first half of 2021. Then Harris went down and they fell to 3.0. Also, Clemson played an even front defense under Brent Venables.

O line matters but the point being, good running backs can still produce even with mediocre/poor lines. Maybe Chaney is a difference maker, maybe one of the other guys is. The only thing I know for sure about the RB room is that Knighton isn’t that guy. Everyone else who has played in the same...

In 2020, with the same below average line and the same offense, Miami ran for 163 yards per game (66th in the nation) with an average of 4.3 yards per carry (68th). Middle of the road numbers but not bad. In 2021, you take away Chaney, King and only half a season of Harris and those numbers...

None of those talented recruits has really played more than a handful of snaps besides Knighton. We’ve seen what Knighton can and can’t do. He’s a RB2 on a good team. Chaney looked solid his freshman year and then missed pretty much the entire year last year. The jury is still out. Cody Brown...

I agree that good running backs can still do work even behind a crappy line. Let’s compare 2019 and 2021. Both seasons, we averaged 3.8 ypc. Not good. 2019- DJ Dallas averaged 6.0 and Cam Harris still solid 5.1. 2021- Jaylan Knighton 3.9 Cam Harris 5.8 Miami before Harris injury: 4.3ypc Miami...
