Peter Posted December 18, 2005 Posted December 18, 2005 Good point about the line...but OJ wasnt an 'average' back even in the 1st few seasons.he was only getting about 10 carries a game--and was being used as a receiver by that moron coach whose name escapes me. I think OJ averaged 4 yards a carry against a stacked line.He also had 7 kick returns for 333 yds one yr.-And i think 30 receptions one of those yrs. 535808[/snapback] Willis had 8 carries last week and 9 carries last night. He averaged 4 yards per carry last night.
Tcali Posted December 18, 2005 Posted December 18, 2005 Willis had 8 carries last week and 9 carries last night. He averaged 4 yards per carry last night. 535815[/snapback] But I never said Willis was an average back.

He wanted OJ to be another Foreman in Minnesota. It wasn't until Saban came in and built the electric company in front of Juice, that he started to really click. WM isn't the same type of back, Bush at USC is the OJ type. That said once WM gets a Line in front of him, I predict we will see 1600 and 1800 yard seasons from him.
