You’ll have to point me in the direction of where I called the line “trash,” either in this thread or any other on here since I’ve been posting. But as I said in previous post, there was plenty of talk by other posters on here in early part of season about line not performing well. Maybe you never wrote such posts, but I’m confident you’ll find them. Guessing in and around the Kansas game thread would be a good place to start.
As to Feagin averaging 4.6, very true. But he averaged 6.8 against a undermanned EIU team followed by 2.5 ypc across the Kansas and CMU games. Then, as I pointed out in previous post, as line started to improve he averaged 5.3 yards per carry over his last two games of injury-shortened season.
I agree that more carries can help a RB. Doesn’t explain Feagin’s increase in production in last 2 games (25 carries) he played versus previous two (26) though. Also doesn’t explain why 3 of McCray’s top 4 YPC average games came in games when he had single digit carries, while only 1 (bowl game, 13 carries, 8.8 avg) was in the 5 games he had double digit carries.
If you don’t believe the line got better over course of the season, we’ll just have to agree to disagree. Maybe you believe the improvement in rushing game as season wore on was due to Feagin not being on the field. I don’t think that’s true. Likewise, maybe you’re one of those who has called for Feagin to move to LB when healthy.
