How do we try and spread the carries: Our spring RB ?'s

I didn't see a ton out of Taylor to warrant taking carries away from Abdullah, Cross, and Newby.

Abdullah's your #1, no doubt. Cross is the hammer. Newby is your shake and bake, swing, screen, and wheel man. Taylor for mop-up duty?

 
It's definitely a feel thing as far as how many carries Abdulla should get, in the early/easy games he should get no more than 15 carries, but in the bigger games such as MSU/Wisky that could increase to as much as 25-30 a game

Ideally, I would keep Abdulla at somewhere between 15-20 carries. Cross at 10-15 carries and Taylor and Newby sharing another 15 carries. The QB's should have no more than 10 carries a game in a perfect world.

Mav, you labeled all of those recent article snippets as being from the OWH, but they were all from an article in the LJS.

The season will ultimately dictate if he'll be in contention for the Heisman but if he wants a shot at it, he's definitely going to need more than 15 carries/game.

If Abdulla is to compete in the Heisman race, he will have to get more than 15 carries a game. He will need to pad his stats a bit early in the year to get off to a good start and get talked about. Obviously he is a team first guy, but I wonder if the coaches will be thinking about that at all.
