Sark went away from his multiple running back style he talked about and used at USC and these guys had too many carries

    Polk and Sankey would have stayed another year if Sark used other backs and each had 10-15 carries a game

    Use me while you got em. Cooper and Callie injuries influenced this. Running backs that stay for senior years are not bright.

    If I had Sankey, why would I use anybody else? Now are we getting so wussified that we can't give our backs 30 carries a game?

    Though I will say Sankey's Sophomore year he really had no other choice with Callier and Cooper being injured. Erich Wilson was not so good...

    Not wussified, just poor roster management, IMHO. Like not getting the back up snaps through the game. Who knows what beno would have rushed for without Jay Barry, and Nip without Neal. Don't get me wrong, that fucktard was faced to abandon his shit offense pass to set up run, based on Polk and Sankey.

    Player development and roster depth were never a priority for Sark. Sankey wasn't even on the radar until Callier got injured. Shitty coaching. Sankey was probably going to NFL draft whether or not Sark stayed. Anyway, very small price for program if Sark leaving was a contributing factor to Sankey's decision.

    Sark was never consistent. There were weird games where Sark was so in love with his bubble screen that he did not use Polk or Sankey. I can't think of any games where I think he over-used either of them, but he rarely gave them a rest. The only season I can think that he used a back-up well was when Callier was Polk's back-up. That was a good combo a lot of the time, with Callier doing a lot of fly sweeps.
