... and while YPC were maybe down, that was likely due to losing a QB that could pass more efficiently in Franklin and instead having Mauk.

It necessitated we run the ball more and play smash mouth, downhill football.

I don't think they minded if YPC were down, because TOP was up. We controlled the ball and we grinded other team's defenses. We could also rely on incredibly special teams and a phenomenal defense led by a great line up front. And Mauk was wild, but he could run a little and complete just enough long bombs that it still kept defenses spread and weary of the deep pass.

At least through 2014

Crockett was a good college back that got some poor - Erwin Fletcher STL - 10/22 13:17:31

He’s been on NFL/Practice rosters - wu-tangtiger MU - 10/22 13:43:16

He may have better positioned if he had stayed and worked - Erwin Fletcher STL - 10/22 15:36:30

IMO, Josey was the most impactful player (non QB) that - jumbo73 MU - 10/22 12:48:48

I would still put DaNario above Josey. Defenses were - SuperTone MU

Badie has a quickness that cannot be measured with a watch. - BingBing MU - 10/22 16:47:49

He was already replaced by Rountree his last - wu-tangtiger MU - 10/22 12:30:31

We have in terms of running back production - zoomer 99 - 10/22 12:30:03
