Imagine you have 3rd and 3 at the opponent 20 with 2minutes left. At home. Do you run up the middle with the RB or put the ball in the hands of QF on the edge? I know what the OC did.

Is my running back sophomore year Marlin Mack?

Our rushing attack was best with Cronk as the bell cow and Ford as the Change of pace. Not sure why we went away from that.

Strong has mentioned multiple times that Cronkrite is an all around back. If so why does he only have 5 catches on the year and why has Ford been getting the nod over Cronkrite?  Good coaches find ways to get their best players the ball. 

Kronkrite is a Florida Transfer he should be an every down back at any pathetic G5 school.

I think one thing that hurt Cronk was the fact he had two fumbles in two back to back games. He lost it against Uconn and then recovered it against Houston. It was about that time he started to not see the ball as much.

I can see that, but I feel like that's being a bit short sighted. two fumbles is far from being considered a fumbling problem. I don't think that should overshadow the ineffectiveness since. considering since the houston game we have seen a decrease of 168 yards per game nad 3.8 yards per attempted. 

first 8 games 233 YPG and 5.8 YPA

last two 65 YPG and 2 YPA

Oh I agree. He needs to be getting at least 18 carries per game. Terrible decision by the coaching staff.
