For those of you worried about recruiting running backs or getting our backs the ball, look at the numbers. Here’s a plays from scrimmage comparison between Kylin and WSU’s leading back this year.
Kylin - 260 touches (242 rushes, 18 receptions) 1530 yards and 11 TDs
Max Borghi - 213 touches (127 rushes, 86 receptions) 1414 yards and 16 TDs
No more pounding the A/B gaps with slow developing run plays 20+ times per game. We are going to get our backs the ball in space in a variety of ways. Granted I know nothing about Max Borghi, but he put up similar/better numbers than Kylin... And I guarantee you Kylin is the more talented player.
Leach’s offense actually seems to fit the backs Moorhead was bringing in better than Moorhead’s offense did.
ETA And there is no point in comparing the receiver stats. It would only make your head spin. It will be interesting to see how the Leach era plays out. One this is for certain though - if you are a skill position player or QB on our team, today was a really good day for you.
