    Do what they did with Ryan Smith... Move Morlock to the slot. King and Dunn are your main 2 backs. Rotate them ala McNorton & Ojuri, Ojuri & Crockett... Bring in the true frosh on a jet sweep here and there. What is the purpose of Darius back there? Saw him lined up a few times...

    I agree. They don't have that second gear like Crockett had and I think Dunn might. It's nice to have a back that can take it to the house from anywhere. I just don't see that kind of speed from Frazier or Morlock.

    I felt like Dunn looked pretty good as well considering the circumstances.

    Was very surprised to see Anderson in early before Dunn had even touched the ball, given all we had heard regarding Dunn. Pick 3, not 4, and at least give the RBs enough reps and momentum to get a flow going. I personally like the thought of King and Dunn, with Chase as 3rd RB/H back getting some carries and swing passes.

    I thought Dunn was ok nothing special but he is only a Fr. I like Frazier and Morlock only because they can play the wear and tear game in the second half which NDSU is so strong at. Ofcourse that is considering we are going to have an OC that is going to call plays in that regard.

    Klieman has said before that it will be a rotation to find out who the best guy is until we get to conference play. Also Morlock was expected to, and did, get lined up all over the field. No surprises. If anything I'm excited that all four looked pretty good. Coaches will sort it out.

    People are ready to judge our RB's after one game? Really? How about we relax, and let the players play it out. We are fortunate to have this depth. They will all be very important at different times. I thought King ran very hard. CHase has a spot at all times, with crazy position flexabilty. Dunn and Anderson are the future and will get more and more carries as they get more comfortable! I hope Anderson starts to return kicks.
    Everyone just relax, all right? Believe me, if there's one thing Ron Burgundy knows, it's women.

    I wish Dunn could get up to speed a little quicker because he has a gear neither King or Chase has. I don't think there is much of a difference when Chase and King are on the field honestly. Chase is way faster than people give him credit for. At this point I'd like to see a rotation of all 3 with more King/Chase early to soften things up and more Dunn later for a change of pace. I like Bruce Anderson a lot though.

    Also, has Chase grown five inches and put on 50 pounds since he came to NDSU.

    When he was first on the film on Saturday, I thought he was a 280 lb, 6'6" tight end with the wrong jersey on.

    King and Morlock are the 2 best RBS right now.
