Everyone has to get better on the offense, including play-calling.
RB's have been the one strong point. Harbison was def the better back on Saturday, but still as a whole, I've liked the balance. I disagree with those that Harbison should be feature, there's plenty of running in this offense to spread it around.
I expect pain next Saturday, but hopefully we continue to see improvements going into more of MAC play.
81, appreciate your thoughts.
There was an interesting comment during the CMU game about Harbinson. According to the announcers, Harbinson said he was gassed after the Utah game because that was the most touches he ever had (at least in CFB). This may be partially the reason for the limited touches early on. After CMU, I'm guessing he'll now get more.

Very rational game plan which means Carey will do the opposite. Expect a lot of 3rd and longs and three and outs.

Gassed after 13 carries? A collegiate athlete who has gone through conditioning and all those gassers? There was a high school kid that ran it 53 times in the playoffs last year but ok. Harbs better get in better shape.
