Check out the box score and see the ridiculous ypc of smelly Bisons running backs not named Lance. That was all set up using Lance as a feature back.

No we don’t. Palmer isn’t going to transfer up after 2020 because he only got 12-15 carries a game vs 20+, when after 2020 you have Obese and Hamilton graduating, and Palmer would be looking at 2 seasons of being the #1 back with probably those 20+ carries a game IF he stayed healthy.
-He’s not going to transfer up to to sit out a year to play 1 season at a G5 or a P5 (where he maybe wouldn’t even be the top back.
-He’s not going to transfer lateral to play for another FCS, giving up his chance to be the #1 back for 2 seasons at a top 2 program.
-He’s not going to leave a team that has multiple HS teammates.
Stop the silly talk.

Newsflash! Maybe you missed the entire season, but Latrele didn't get any "12-15 carries a game." Even in the Natty, he got 8 and appeared plenty healthy to double that or more.

My only point is he should have gotten many more carries, especially in the Natty. Weird game plan, IMO.

“Palmer isn’t going to transfer up after 2020 because he only got 12-15 carries a game vs 20+“

He’s clearly talking about next season, not last season (2019).

Hello. I was talking about next season.
He’ll get more carries next season IF be stays healthy, and there’s virtually zero chance he’s going to transfer over carries.

I hope not, but he wouldn't be the first football player to transfer because he wasn't playing as much as he wanted. I also think he will play more next year. I sure hope so. He is a very talented running back.

Agree about the issue over carries. His carries were limited this season by far due to his health. There is risk to playing a freshman in key playoff situations (ask Nation/Dukie). As a freshman (that was hurt late in the season missing games) it's a bit dangerous to feature him in a NC situation. As far are Palmer goes I think Cig used him perfectly to bring a spark which Palmer did. I only wish he would of rushed him from the 3 at the end of the game. Yes, he was the best ball carrier on that day, and he did not have any turnovers, but our top two backs have been pretty solid this year.

Also - what cost us in this game was the ability to stop Trey, not the production of our running backs.

I agree. Trey killed us. The nation's #1 defense was walked all over by not just Trey, but also by the many others who we were forced to let go because we were concentrating on Trey. The shame is we had the same weapon in Nooch and never employed it, making it easy for the smelly Bisons to defend us. SMH!
