I'm officially on the Ross is a "below average back" bandwagon.
When Pittman got carriers, he actually hit the hole with speed and was a threat to take it all the way. Ross is a liability and needs to be on the bench.

He's slow out of the gate. Sometimes looks likes he's running in mud from the snap to the line.

Ross has terrible vision, average speed and doesn't break tackles. Like DiHard said on another thread, he's a great kid but he's just not a great player.

I don't mind a 2-3ypc back if he never fumbles. Ever.
Ross still probably needs to be the guy getting the most carries, but Pittman should be coming in a close second.

I feel bad for the kid, but I have to agree we've given him 3 games now. Seriously what has he shown us? I think they need to give Pittman a look. I will be shocked if our coaching staff is watching tape the next couple days and doesn't say to themselves dang look at Pittman cut it out for two 5 yard gains. Pittman jus has more burst and hits the hole harder. With our quick O-line the wholes open quickly so therefore I'd only guess we need a quicker back ya know?

If he gets around 600 carries this year he may break a 1,000. Has I posted in another thread he just does not have the vision, burst, or natural feel for a RB. He is first-class kid and anyone who has been on BN knows I have always been in his corner but this is getting ridiculous. I am not sure if I have ever seen a more average OSU RB or running game. Woody would be sick to his stomach over this. And don't give me the injuries, 8 man fronts, and the OL line. Other teams get it done...

Not sure if I can agree C...then again, none of us know what happens in practice or if Pitt knows all of the blocking schemes
