what is it about MSU's offense or NW that makes their RBs look so good?

I mean we run out of a spread offensive now too...

My post wasn't meant to knock Mo Wells or any of our guys, but the productivity of these other backs has been outstanding, what is it about our offensive sets that makes our backs look ordinary?

the other side to that point would be that late in the 4Q, Wells is coming in fresh and their Dline should be worn down.

I know it is way early to make a judgement on any of these young guys, (good point about Eddie) but so far...the comparison is one sided

Mo Wells and E. Haw certainly have the tools to prove me wrong, but the clock is ticking with C. Wells coming in early next year

it's our 2nd string O-Line usually as well...

we have a leading rusher who gets most of the carries. we don't need a freshman RB. Can NW and MSU say the same thing?
