[QUOTE="takethepoints, post: 195944, member: 265"] First, if Saturday was the only time I've seen Marshall stopped for no gain or negative yards, I wouldn't think that he should move to AB. Problem = I [I]have[/I] seen him stopped for no gain or negative yards a lot more then once and in crucial situations as well. As I said above, I'll trade getting us to a first from 3rd and 3 for a 20 yard run any day of the week. The guy who gets the first is likely to be one that gets the long runs as the D wears down. But I've already gone over why I think Marshall isn't that kind of game breaker. We have players both on the sidelines now and coming in next year who are. Second, yes, we might very well have scored on that drive. Mistakes happen (more often when you are playing freshmen, btw), but there is no guarantee that they will continue. And, if we had, I think we would have won the game. Ugag was offensively impotent Saturday and we lost (again) by one score. Third, as to your being baffled: there's a reason, as I've pointed out before, that all of Coach's BBs at Tech have been 6', 220 lbs or above. That reason is one I've expounded on at length and I won't do it again. But what it comes down to is that the position calls for above all else is a pounder; the two guys last year were close to perfect for that. Dwyer [I]was[/I] perfect for the position because he was both a breakaway back [I]and[/I] a pounder. Marshall is a great breakaway talent, but he can't pound. I think once we figure out how to use him he'll be a bigger asset then he is now. [/QUOTE]
