This is what I don't understand, Denard
runs there is big gaping hole, Fitz runs and there is two or three guys in the backfield immediately. I don't think the issue is with Fitz, the push is just completely different. Not sure what people are expecting from Fitz, when there is nowhere to go. I don't think the other RB's would be having anymore success.

true
but i also think denard is great at finding a crease even to make minimal yardage.

I don't know, I am not
disputing Denard's running ability obviously, but there have large creases on most of his runs. I don't recall seeing any large creases, on any of Fitz's runs.

Fitz is averaging less than 2 yards per carry. I know Purdue's interior D line is good, but this is ridiculous. We should give Rawls, Hayes, or Norfleet some carries here or there just to see what comes of it.

I would normally agree, but
I would normally agree, but Fitz has done an extraordinary amount of dancing rather than heading upfield this game. I'm not saying replace him as the starter, just give a couple carries to the other backs to see if they can have better success.

He had one run at the beginning of the 2nd half against ND, but that is about it. Not sure what the issue is, but he looked a lot more decisive last season. I am sure it's a combination of the OL and how he's running. I'd like to see another RB get some reps though, especially Rawls.

I like Borges being somewhat conservative
this half. The D is playing well and Purdue's O is obviously mediocre at best. Normally I don't like when teams sit on the lead, but sometimes the circumstances are appropriate to do so.
