- Third straight game where Newby had a better YPC than Ozigbo. And it wasn't even close. Not sure what it takes for him to get some more second half chances.
I wonder what Newby's YPC is sans his goal-line fumble run on the third play of the game where he had a giant hole. Not to say that that doesn't count, but I saw one run by Newby in the game where I thought that
he did a great job vs the play being called well and the OL opening up solid holes. Ozigbo seems to very consistently make something out of less than something.
I guess you can dismiss what you want but that was a great run. Play was up the middle, he cut to the outside, cut inside one guy then cut back to the outside to get down the sideline. The fumble was bad but the run was great.
I'm not trying to bash on Ozigbo but this was his second game averaging less than 3.3 ypc this year. He runs tough but he hasn't been making an entirely large amount happen - which also has to do with playcalling. Ozigbo's best YPC game - against our worst opponent - is the only game he has that is better than Newby's worst YPC game this year. Yet he has twice as many carries. Plus Newby has three runs longer that Ozigbo's longest - on half the carries.
If you want to blame it on playcalling that's fine - I'd like to see where you think Ozigbo has been getting significantly different play-calls - but let's run more of the plays we're running with Newby.
