With a new QB and a good chunk of our D returning a good running game will do wonders.

I like Hot Rod, but he does that dancing around in the backfield too much. Hit the hole and get what you can; don't dance around and lose ten.

Hot Rod has ran the ball very well. Don't pick out one mistake and act like he's done that all year.
Good grief

It's "has run" and no he hasn't.

LOL. He has not run the ball well.

It was as much his fault we lost as anybody else's. He did not play well. He has not done much of anything since the Georgia game.
It's not his fault the backup got hurt, but the coaches always seemed to hedge their bets in their comments on Hot Rod in the preseason. Now we know why.

Hot Rod is not the type back that will be effective against the defense we played... Sorry just stating a fact...great kid, love him. BUT

Check the lsu game??? How about UGA ????
You think the line might has anything to do with it??
H3ll Spiller couldn't ran the ball sat. night
Love how some of our so-called fans act like coots or spurrier and throw our players under the bus when things go bad

Are you throwing our offensive line under the bus?
Oct 21, 2013, 11:26 AM

The line didn't play well, but neither did our running backs.
We just aren't very talented at running back this year.

More fallout from the recruitment of Mike Bellamy.
Oct 21, 2013, 11:09 AM
|

In hindsight, his recruitment probably cost us one of Gurley and Marshall and contributed to the dearth of talented running backs we have right now. Throw in the injury to Dye, who the coaches were salivating about in the preseason, and here we sit, wishing we had a running back to balance our offense and take pressure off Boyd and the passing game.

He's no better than our current stable of backs.

We need a couple of difference makers.

Not a difference maker but he'd make our backfield better.

but it hasn't been great all year. I honestly would've preferred if we'd tried to run up the middle more than we did.

Our running game did OK once we the game was over.

Once the game got to the point where there wasn't enough to time to run the ball and win.
In the first half we could not run the ball. First down run production for us was nill, while they were able to get good yardage with their running game on first downs.

U R on a roll this morning. Gurley signed with Georgia Feb.

2012. Bellamy was kicked of the team in May of that year. Had Bellamy not been on the team Gurley's senior year, and in January and February of 2012, Gurley may have come to Clemson knowing he wouldn't have to compete with Ellington AND Bellamy.

Hot Rod is averaging 5 yards per carry.

That's not as bad as some of you are making it seem he has played so far this season.

and 63 yards per game.

Respectable numbers if you're just looking at the stat line.
If you dig deeper, you see that he doesn't run through tackles and, with a long run of 39 yards during his career, he doesn't have the break away speed either. Defense's have no fear of him breaking a long run if they focus on TB and Sammy. Our running game is not a threat.
