The vast majority of those were very clearly scrambles.
It wasn't like Dan's offense where there were obviously designed QB runs or read option plays.

It's asinine for you to think Taylor shouldn't be carrying the ball or handicap the coach's playbook by taking away KT's greatest asset (his legs).
Everyone here says KT is generational, so a better comparison would be Cam Newton's year at Auburn. They are similar in size than KT is to Corral. Newton averaged 18.9 attempts in his year at Auburn.
If we're going to be successful KT is going to have to use his legs and you know that. There is an increased risk of injury, but that is where we are with his development. The hope is that his size helps him absorb more punishment than the avg. QB.
this Swann stands a good chance to start half of the season next year
I agree with you. Now I'm not saying he should have 20+ rushing attempts, but with his running ability you have to utilize it to maximize his potential. Not using his running ability would be like telling Lamar Jackson to just sit in the pocket the entire time. He wouldn't be nearly as successful and the team would have more Last than W's.
Again, just want to clarify I'm not saying run him 20 times every game. But if the opponent can't defend it and it's successful, then that's what you continue to due. Especially if his pass game isn't developed. Injuries are just part of the game. As a coach, if you don't run him and lose, you get criticized for not running him enough. If you run him and he gets hurt, you get criticized for running him too much. It is what it is, just run whatever scheme gives you the best chance to win.
Ive been done with Lebbro since Toledo. The program has been too. Love to be wrong. But it aint happening. What has he done for you to follow him to the grave like you do? No one loses to Texas and Florida the way we did and survives. Tennessee I can live with since we didn?t shit our pants but it should have been a W, Shapen costed him that one too
