[QUOTE="Limp Lizard, post: 2691186, member: 18"] I have no problem with keeping the carries for the Freshmen down a little. Too many times I have seen Freshmen tear it up their first year only to have nagging injuries the rest of their career. LT didn't get all that many carries until he was a Junior, and he was durable. Hobbs was a workhorse, but was breaking down by season's end (despite playing in only 8 games, but averaging almost 20 carries). Peterson at OU was great, but fought injuries throughout his career. An 18 year-old, no matter how good he is, is still way more fragile that he will be in a couple more years. If our players are really good enough to get drafted high after 3 years, then so be it. What I have problems with is the long list of TCU players who got bad advice and left early and disappeared. That last year has made a huge amount of difference on our players' development. One day we may have a true high draft pick early, but that also means he will have had a great year and probably the team had a great year. [/QUOTE]
