1. What is status of Ayansi, Hatch? I don't see either of them on the field, including special teams. Are they hurt or just not high enough on depth chart?
2. I don't believe we substituted an OL in the last two games. I know the call is "Finish", but based on previous years, our OL will degress as the season wears on and level of competition increases. Is the level of the 1st team OL that much better than any of the 2nd teamers? (personally, the OL has been pretty good at run blocking, but the pass protection has left a lot to be desired).
3. It is not my place to know how many plays a RB should have. However, I would like more consistency when our coach gives us an explanation. How can 23 carries against Clemson (a rival and conference foe) while the game is in doubt be the max the RB can handle; and then 36 and more to come not be too many, when it is an OOC game and we are up by 2 scores with 4:00 left in the game?
