    Default Why would any kid want to be a running back at NDSU from now on?

    Serious question...if they see that the QB runs 15 times a game, and they will run 3-4 times, why on earth would they commit to NDSU?

    What if were doing the QB running because we cant do simple run blocking.

    even forgetting about the shotgun formation for a second-------what are these ball carriers going between carries? 10-20 upwards of 30 minutes real-time between touches a times u talk about bone head i just dont understand it 2nd and 5 deep in jack territory and u chuck the pigskin twice out of shotgun! 3 downs to get 5 yard and you throw it twice to kick a field goal that to me was the beginning of the end yesterday

    Maybe they like to block for QBs?

    Maybe they like to run into the back of their linemen?

    Both are problems.

    QB runs work when its used as an additional threat, not as well when its the primary play.

    I have said this for a year now and there is really no reason to. Before we were qb u we had a stable of RBs that went back for decades. We always could rely on that not anymore and it’s not the RBs fault cause we don’t even know if they are any good.
