    Any RB who has legit pro potential should be trying to avoid being overused as a college freshman and sophomore.

    Ah yes… the ol’ don’t play in order to get drafted strategy. Works every time.

    He's 19 years old and has carried the ball 250 times against a SEC schedule.

    So? Your point was that he should try to avoid rushes to protect his draft potential.

    And yet completely legal. They aren't under any contracts and there is technically no pay for play (wink wink).
    We should be doing some tampering of our own for some good DL and OL.

    I said overuse. I think he has had a very sensible workload thus far to show what he is capable of while not grinding himself down.

    "Greed is good" until it isn't. If only all the bastards who made millions the last 50 years had to repay it.

    Looks like, Etienne, his agent and his family looked at the change/no changes being made, the schedule for next year and decided to take their gifts somewhere else. Another indictment on the process!

    Ouch. That sucks. I look pretty dumb now. Shocked really but I won't speculate on the Transfer Portal again. Lesson learned.
