I want Bryce to succeed because it’s what’s best for the program. However, if another QB can come in and succeed that’s fine. There’s 0 chance that happens without a functional running game. Bryce was your leading rusher. Tommy Carr isn’t going to win games with <100 yards rushing from your RBs*

- a significant contributing factor was we only ran 48 plays, and the last two possessions had to be passing-focused... - By ajs September 7, 2026 at 12:26:43 PM
- While I don't disagree with your point at all, I also haven't seen anything to convince me BU is a good runner. Looking again at the spring game Carr was the leading rusher, 10 rushes for 59yds, Bryce 5 rushes for -3 - By Supergoat September 7, 2026 at 12:20:36 PM
  - Cont: he isn’t denard but no one claimed he would be. He is huge, athletic, and faster than most* - By WOK September 7, 2026 at 12:25:29 PM
    - I think it's not athleticism they're talking about but instincts. - By el fuego September 7, 2026 at 12:34:43 PM
  - I disagree with you entirely and the people saying he isn’t athletic is wild. However, that wasn’t my point at all.* - By WOK September 7, 2026 at 12:23:01 PM
    - This always shows up when people are mad about a player's performance. Everything they do is terrible.* - By Bluebuck September 7, 2026 at 12:24:39 PM
    - Who the fuck is saying he isn't athletic? I'm saying he doesnt have good running instincts.* - By Supergoat September 7, 2026 at 12:24:34 PM
      - he's a good not elite athlete. an elite athlete beats that wmu defender to the pylon easily. combined with him playing mentally slow i don't see much utility in his running - By Daytripper September 7, 2026 at 12:27:44 PM
      - Several individuals have. You’re saying Tommy Carr is a better runner based on a spring game.* - By WOK September 7, 2026 at 12:26:17 PM
        
        Alex Orji successfully executed a dink and dunk passing offense in his last spring game at UM. We saw how that went.* - By Bluebuck September 7, 2026 at 12:29:53 PM
        
        How else would you measure performance during a football game other than actual performance during a football game? You are what your record says you are and all that* - By Supergoat September 7, 2026 at 12:28:19 PM
        
        the spring game is barely a “football game”. Saying Carr is a more effective runner because he scrambled 10 after failing to find any open receivers is not a convincing argument. Bryce has shown the ability to make plays with his legs on a consistent basis. 3 fumbles though, those are brutal.* - By WOK September 7, 2026 at 12:35:46 PM
        
        And yet Bryce was terrible* - By hambone September 7, 2026 at 03:47:26 PM
- I am a noted sunshine blower. I think Saturday was an aberration wrt the running game. Everything works better if we can run.* - By Bluebuck September 7, 2026 at 12:15:24 PM
  - I hope so b/c Whit inherited a top tier running game and personnel. They just had to build on this* - By Rich September 7, 2026 at 12:17:58 PM
  - I have been wondering: (1) Will Babaloa be back for OU? (2) If so, how much difference does that make? (Nm) - By danny September 7, 2026 at 12:16:53 PM
    - GUarnera, Efobi, and Sprague have all been + run blockers on a team with a bad passing offense. FRazier and Link have both been fine at run blocking… - By Craig September 7, 2026 at 12:22:17 PM
- we had no play action game. play action is a mid qbs best friend* - By Daytripper September 7, 2026 at 12:14:29 PM
