    Gaskin is really good. Even he needs holes though.
    Weren't a ton of those to be had Friday.

    He found them. 7 carries 59 yards, with a long of 17. Gaskin is a stud. Coleman is too. Gaskin is the better player, but at times last year, Coleman had the hot hand and I would yell at the TV for him to get in the game.

    We're keeping his legs fresh for Montana, it's a large state full of bears so they must have a pretty big team.

    Watch the game again. Rutgers put 8 to 9 guys within the box on most running downs. Jim Brown would have had a hard time.

    I've gotten to the point when you can actually tell which RB is best for the game. If we are facing a strong front (think Stanford or teams like that), gaskin is who is best for that because of his burst and his incredible vision and lateral ability, when we face those soft Pac-12 teams (WSU, AZ, etc) Coleman can see the holes our line opens up and he is just a force in those games.

    I love them both though, so abundance.
    Gaskin should get almost all of the carries the first 3-3.5 quarters. Coleman in the 4th after the defense is exhausted from stretching Gaskin out along he sideline. It's so goddamn simple and we mostly stuck to it last season.

    After seeing our performance against the worst team in the Big11, and then seeing other teams play this weekend, we will be lucky to win 6 games this year. I don't think it matters how many times Gaskin touches the ball. We suck.

    You underestimate how much the Pac 10 sucks.

    Didn't Gaskin also get underutilized in the 2016 opener? His turn will come.

    This is pretty much what we did every game last year, so I guess Doogman had it right.

    Here's another great tried and true doogism: "FUCK OFF"
