What grade would you give the running game?

 

[hungan1]

A

 

[GophersInIowa]

Not sure how it can't be anything but an A or B. Someone already voted C which makes no sense. 287 yards and 6.0 average.

A.

It can only be A. I'll allow an A- if you cite Edwards as underwhelming.

 

[MNVCGUY]

Cobb alone gets it an A.

 

[die hard gopher]

A- There were a few plays where Cobb was on the near verge of busting out a long one where he got tripped up. I have high high standards for gopher RBs.

 

[go4ergold]

A!

 

[tikited]

My bad. I read the title too fast and thought it was for the team/whole game. That is why I voted C. I blame the beer.

 

[Some guy]

A for execution.
C for situational play calling.

Too many times we run a motion or a shift and bring extra defenders right to where we are running. I remember specifically a play where we ran toss and they had us so out numbered that we needed up having 1 guy to block 3 at the point of attack. That's either a bad call by limegorover or a bad check by the QB. In any case, it makes me say B overall.

I gave it a B. Reasoning the effort by Cobb was just what we need every game. It is not expecting too much for a back to take the ball 25-30 times a game. This is our MO. He should be rushing for 150 a game and this is just above average.
