Young ran the ball 15 times for 95 yards (6.3 yards per carry).
Sims ran the ball 7 times for 38 yards (5.4 yards per carry).
Christensen ran the ball 15 times for -13 yards (-0.9 yards per carry).
I officially want 25+ carries from Young each game and 15+ carries
from Sims each game. I want fewer than 5 runs from Christensen.
Sure, Christensen had a lot of yards in the air (308) but this team
MUST commit to running the ball. Both backs averaged over 5 yards a
carry. Run the ball. Then run it again. There were plenty of
opportunities for Young and Sims to run the ball before that game got
into desperation mode.
I want them to run the ball on almost every 1st down and almost
every 2nd down and almost any 3rd down shorter than 3 yards. I would
be willing to bet that we end up with a lot fewer 3rd and 8+ yards.
