[QUOTE="AE 87, post: 169552, member: 195"] Sorry, I didn't mean to distract from the conversation about red shirting, but others have responded on that point. Also, I wanted to clarify that my post was not intended to say that Laskey was the better b-back overall. It was simply to say that I thought your look at the stats was too simplistic. You are of course free to disagree. Fwiw, I'm not worried about Marcus coming in and playing significant minutes, if not carrying the load for us. I think we'll be fine there and may even be better. Still, I think that if the difference between Synjyn and Zach was as stark as you make it, then Synjyn would've been starting from day 1. Your simplistic look at the rushing data also doesn't consider the other factors of the non-ball-carrying responsibilities. Zach was the starter at the beginning of the year for a reason. Another look at the rushing data may be helpful. Over our last 3 games, Zach and Synjyn both played; Synjyn getting 56 carries for 332 yds and Zach 47 for 243. That's a difference between 5.93 yds/carry and 5.17 yds/carry. However, if you take away Synjyn's 69 yd TD run vs Miss St, he averaged 4.78 yds/carry over the other 55 carries. I say that because I think it's important that you understand the statistics and their sensitivity before you tell someone else to "Come on man." [/QUOTE]
