Scott did well for the few touches he got, he seems like a tough runner and with his size, he's pretty elusive. Murray had a great series (I think it was on our scoring drive) where he got some key first downs. Didn't see anything to change Murray as the starter for Ball State, but I would like to see Scott get a bunch of work next week.

ND will probably be the toughest team we face to run on during the regular season.

Of course, that would be played next year. Not sure if that is what you were thinking.

They were co-starters on the depth chart and will likely remain that way.

They ran a reverse one time but sent him in motion to the short side of the field-- less room to turn a corner-- I don't get that play calling. This wasn't a game where we could really use him at his best (wet track, hard to make cuts etc). Scott is a beast out there and the change of pace we get with Murray will work great this season against lesser lines. We seemed to use Scott for most of the game and then brought Murray and his fresh legs in just at the right time when Holtz went to a hurry up quick attacking scheme to drive down for a TD. That was a brilliant series.
