    100 running plays? The assumption must be we are playing SHSU again.

    I think when looking at our RB position group you have to realize that guys like purifory and brooks shouldn't be every down all day guys. Get them the ball in space any way we can. After Anderson and Dunn the everydown backs will go to wilson and cofield. purifoy and brooks - Punt return, Kick return, Jet sweets 5 touches in the backfield per game. Wilson throw him the damn ball and jet sweeps. without further ado

    Anderson - 30
    Dunn - 28
    Brooks - 12
    Purifoy - 8
    Cofield - 12
    Wilson - 10
    Stick - 10

    Math?

    Not going to be 100 carries a game, more like 30-40. If 40 I'd prefer:

    Anderson - 10
    Dunn - 10
    Brooks - 10
    Wilson - 10

    None for Stick and if it's a blowout the backups can split the rest.

    Excluding garbage time carries that should go to Cofield and Purifoy:

    Anderson 40
    Dunn 38
    Brooks 18
    Stick 4

    The threat of Stick running is much more important than him actually gaining yards. One well timed play action designed run per half should be enough to keep defenses honest.

    My view is we have three top backs and redshirt Wilson. I don't believe we will redshirt Wilson, but I would. My carries per game with about 40 run plays besides garbage time would be:

    Anderson 12
    Dunn 12
    Brooks 11
    Stick 5

    This is all based on Dunn and Brooks being 100% healthy. I really felt Brooks was the most explosive last year with the best vision of the three.
    If it flies it dies.

    Long for the days of freezing in the south stands of Dacotah Field.

    I don't see Wilson being redshirted either. The question that needs to be asked in regards to Seth is whether he'll carry or catch the ball more. I expect to see him catch a minimum of ten wheel-route passes this season.
    Hail the BISON!!!
