Starter at RB ?

[E.T.]

It's been "Murray or Scott" with Murray seemingly getting the actual "start".

Murray has had 5 more carries.

I give the start to Scott for FAMU.

Really hope we have 2 backs over 100 yards.

STAMPEDE !!!

I say still hand it to Murray until he does something to lose it, or Scott just blows everyone away.  They're both about equal at this point, and Murray has seniority ... I agree, though, I'd love to see them both break 100 yds on the ground.

they seem to split so many carries that it doesn't really matter.  they're both doing really well.

If you asked Murray or Scott, and they were honest, they'd tell you it does matter.  I'm sure both want to be on the field for the first snap of the game.

Equal ?

Only in # of carries.

5.0 vs. 2.9 Avg per Carry is not.

I'm still a BIG fan of Murray and see him having a very good season, but I think Scott deserves the "start".

They both led their team in rushing 1 game a piece. Let's see where they are after the next 2.

Based on what?  Because Scott padded states getting mop-up duty against Ball State and gobbling up some yards that Murray could have just as easily gobbled.  Have you been in practice?  Have you seen the staff's comments about Scott after ND....they were disappointed in how tenative he ran, although he was much better against BSU, but it's BSU.  Murray looked better in the ND game, he was a catalyst in that big TD drive that won us the game.  Scott looked somewhat better against BSU.  I see nothing that would conclude Scott deserves it whent he stats are entirely skewed.

Saying 'who should start' as fans is the most asinine thing to do on the internet.  Coaches actually use real measurements like performance in practice, work exuded, past performances to determine this...people wonder why the back-up QB is always the most popular player on the team?  Because arm-chair QB's get to always say who 'deserves' to start based on their unqualified, uninformed opinion.  Glad to know coaches rely on the facts.

Scott will get better and better as the season goes on.   Example, he is trying to hurdle players, soon he will be running through and around them.   He needs to get some experience under his belt.

No doubt, and I like what I see...moreso that he's trying to get better, which is sometimes hit or miss with these former elite recruits.  But right now Murray does everything right, Murray has done it against the best.  This is the guy that ran for over 100 yards in games for USF.  He had a big game against UF.  He's earned his keep for sure.  The way the staff used them against Ball State was perfect...give Murray the start like he deserves, and get Scott extra minutes to work out the 'kinks' with this kid...kinks like trying to get him to remember he's a 245lbs bulldozer now, not the 6ft 205lbs speed merchant, high hurdler he once was in HS.  For Scott that was a lifetime ago, he now needs to learn to be a hard nosed, jumbo RB, a tough runner that punishes tacklers.  He's getting there.
