Sometimes the right back can make an oline look much better than it is.

I'm not expecting us to have a great run game this season ever, but all we really need it to be is adequate. Enough that defenses have to defend against it somewhat.

I'm hoping McCaskill can be that spark you are looking for. He does have the ability to shake of tackles and find holes that other backs dont. He does have the ability to break for big plays.
I agree that truly special backs can make a mediocre/below average OL look decent. I'm not sure if McCaskill is a truly special back. I'm excited to find out tomorrow
 


just putting this here for good luck

Very interesting. Looks like McCa"skill" didn’t have a very good o-line at Houston. Still ran the rock up and down the field
Hoping to see him running all over Oregon’s D tomorrow. Can’t wait to see him hit the field.
 
We need to be able to run the ball to win. Period. The Oregon pass rush will feast on our o-line if we don't, and our newfound TE options will be useless because he'll be forced in to block.

Having Wells back and healthy is huge - the CSU game is massively different is he's in there. McCaskill needs to be a difference maker as well. If we can run inside for 4-5 yards consistently, all other options become easier. I don't know if that's possible, but it would be huge if we could.

I worry about Nix, as does everybody who faces him, but he can be baited into bad throws. We've gotten big picks in every game - we need that streak to continue.
I don't believe inside runs are the way to go for us. We have created running lanes running to the edge but we need a RB who's fast enough to get there and strong enough to easily break arm tackles. We have like 20% success rate at inside run blocks. That's abysmal

good film breakdown by the ducks guy
The problem with grades in college football is your team played minnows and this team played teams with **** to play for.

I rather just watch the tape and I value when he did that a lot more because that's real. Data isn't real when most teams are playing FCS teams or teams that will win one game all year like Hawaii.

Data is real when you account for the opponent quality.
