B/c you can expect to put up good numbers and run

behind a solid offensive. There are valid complaints about play-calling and commitment to the run, but some less than "elite" RBs recruits have put up solid seasons despite injuries/suspensions.

2018 - Dexter Williams (4-star, #11 RB) 995yds, 6.3ypc, 110.5ypg
2017 - Josh Adams (4-star, #26 RB), 1430yds, 6.9ypc, 110ypg
2016 - Josh Adams, 933yds, 5.9ypc, 77.8ypg
2015 - C.J. Prosise (4-star, #23 Safety), 1029yds, 6.6ypc, 103ypg
Josh Adams, 838yds, 7.2ypc, 69.8ypg


This only shows that elite RBs

will not consider ND under Kelly, and while teams may not employ a feature back who gets 30 carries a game, none of those stats would convince me to betray what my eyes see; namely, when the going gets tough Kelly's offense is going air raid and our variety of run calls seems to include inside and outside zone 90% of the time. Zero creativity to get me the ball.

Until I see different, I expect us to continue to get high 3 star and low 4 star RBs as the standard commit at the position.


What a cluster 2016 was.

For some reason I had it in my mind that last year was Adams' break-out year. I totally forgot he put up those kind of numbers in 2016. And somehow we only won 4 games?

Thanks, Kelly and BVG.
