That’s a crazy number, but this could be a low number of plays as well. Both teams take forever & a day between plays.

Oh for sure I agree

Just saying when we used a bunch of trick plays and runs with Lofton and Toney there wasn’t many plays left to only have 49 doesn’t give too many chances

Brown is averaging less than 4 YPC and we have posters actually complaining that he's not getting carries over Fletcher & Pringle?

I mean, seriously?

I mean he quite often is the short yardage back…. In terms of traits, Hes the most NFLish back. And Thats coming from someone whos high on Fletcher.

Fletcher 1
Brown should be 1B

Do you think he should be though? He missed two 3rd & 1s because he cutback instead of running to the right where the play was designed. He's averaged less than 3.6 ypc since the UF game. I'd rather hand the ball to Fletcher on any 3rd/4th and shorts.

Weird situation, since we don't win the ND game without him, and he was great in the UF game too, but he hasn't done much in the run game since then.

I think Browns job this year was to help keep Fletcher fresh for this part of the season

No real reason to give him any carries unless Fletcher needs a break

His vision needs improvement noticed that on those short yard runs

Yup, and maybe there are teams that can manage to rotate 3 RBs during competitive games, but we aren't one of those teams. See trying to get CJjr and Lyle carries last year and trying to balance Fletcher/Brown/Lyle mid season. We suck at it.

And there have been so many drives that get killed this season when trying to throw in Lyle etc . Just stick to what’s working
 
Fletcher should be the bellcow, Pringle should serve as the change of pace & scat back would love to incorporate him in the pass game some..Brown should only see the field if Fletcher is gassed. however against OSU we need a heavy dose of Fletch downhill....This not the game to be trying to incorporate pringle into the gameplan.
 
We had like 40 plays. Most games are more than double that. And mark had 200 yards. It’s not that deep. Just do what you’ve gotta do to win, if that means riding fletch for 35 carries, ride fletch.
