    I disagree on this. Today's Spread offense is about numbers and the QB being able to run the ball. Our QB should be our leading rusher every season. It's about production at QB- not just passing.

    Check out Bama's and Clemson's rushing stats from last year. Bama had 1 RB with more yds than Hurts and another with just under the same yds as Hurts. Watson wasn't close to leading rusher for Clemson.

    OSU in '14 would be a good one to look at too. To get to upper echelon IMO ... the RB position (even if split with 2 backs) should be at least 1 and a half to 2X what QB rushes for. But then that is IMO.

    Tebow at Fla....Newton at Auburn- those were upper echelon too

    With the OL talent Bama and Clemson- it doesn't matter who runs the ball
