Or you find yourself in the wrong position when a new player comes in. I'm betting that after last year both MM and Coach thought he'd be the starter and were ok with that. Then Mills arrived and suddenly MM finds himself #2. I've said here many times - shoot, I said it during spring practice - that I thought he should be moved to AB and set up for 10 - 15 carries a game, just like Orwin Smith. I think if he had stayed that is what would have happened. But it couldn't happen this year; we needed two BBs with game experience and, given how he came on, MM earned the starters role and might have kept it next year, Mills or no Mills. I'm still betting that he would have been moved. Putting him at AB would have maximized our offensive fire power.
But he decided to leave, perhaps because he wasn't sure that he would win out at AB, given his problems with blocking, and he didn't think he could beat out Mills. I hope he made the right decision and does well wherever he ends up.
