Oakland has started as well, for any Tiger fans out there. Unfortunately, it is 1-0 Oakland in the first on a leadoff HR.

Idk why Hope likes TerBush so much. Must see something in him from practice. I always thought Marve was the better playmaker and I was stunned he wasn't starting today.

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.

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 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.
