Message: [QUOTE="phil77, post: 2684365, member: 1169"] Unlike WR in the Art Briles system Freshman running backs rarely play. 2013 a freshman had 128 attempts and 2014 a freshman had 100 attempts. Other than that there isn't much history of freshman running backs coming in and racking up a huge amount of carries in this offense. So it isn't a shock to me that Babers prefers Strickland and Neal over Howard even if Howard is a better runner. Be very interesting what happens next year with Adams and how much he is able to soak up this year. There is a history of WRs playing early which is why I would expect to see a lot of freshman WRs playing especially if Butler and Riley continue to under preform. [/QUOTE]
