The 49-yard run did not have a gaping hole...Miller read the handoff option perfectly, seeing that the defense had completely vacated the middle. There was a hole, but not that big. The hole on the 37-yard TD, however, was big enough to run my car through and not hit anyone.

but you would still door tag someone, just because.......

And even without those long runs, Hall still averaged over a yard/carry better, with over twice as many yards and carries as Chunky.

You also have to factor in that Hall's a fifth year senior and Green is a true freshman. I don't think anyone would disagree that Hall is better today. I was just pointing out that Green's first game was not nearly as impressive as his stats suggested. Then somone had to bring Hall into the discussion and muck it all up.

I don't disagree with anything you're saying, at all. But you could also factor in the fact that Braxton didn't always make the best read with regards to either keeping or handing off on the option. There were times when Braxton gave him the ball right in the face of a defender and other times when he kept it when Jordan had green in front of him.

I was more impressed with the little of Deveon Smith I saw. He runs with great toughness and his balance is superb. When/If Damien Harris ever makes it Ann Arbor, I think a 1-2 punch of Smith & Harris will be scary. I think Derrick Green will be short yardage mainly. Although, I really don't think any of them will have success if The Situation is at the helm. Dare him to throw.

I'll reserve judgement on Morris until at least the end of this season seeing how his mop up duty goes. As for the 1-2 punch of Smith and Harris.......hell to the yeah. The stable of running backs that has appeared is definitely a good problem to have. Just got to keep them all healthy.

Jordan Hall didn't have as great as a game as his stats would suggest. He had a 49 yard and 37 yard run where the hole was literally 5 yards wide and went completely untouched. Otherwise 19 carries for 73 yards.

Who cares how any RB gets his yards in a game, one could pound it out for 5-7 yards a carry or break a couple of long ones. Yard is a yard no matter how you add them up. They have the same results for what the D will do. If you break a couple of long runs most D's will bring the safeties up a bit to prevent another one. If you are pounding out 5-7 yards a carry, guess what the safeties are coming up.

Stating stats do not mean as much because "a back had a long or couple long runs" is well dumb.

A back like Green is going to get better as the game goes on. 11 carries simple is not enough carries and I believe he has the second string o-line for most of those carries. After watching Thomas Rawls run into the back of his own lineman for the last two years, it was refreshing to see a back actually run through a hole.
