could double troubles' problem be their hesitation?

They hesitate because they do not have a whole to run through, I dont think its the backs faults, they are some of the best.

a halfback should fit just fine through a whole

Losing Otah was a major blow to our running game not only because of his strenght and size, but because our backs could hide behind him. The sheer size of Otah makes it difficult for LBs to see which way our RBs are going. Losing sight of Williams for a second can force a LB to hesitate or guess as to which way he's headed. Guess wrong and get a 2009 run. I'm sure Fox is feeling sick that both Duke and Otah are out with injuries. I doubt opposing LBs could see well behind the Duke/Otah wall.

neither Stewart of D williams has been given enough carries to get in a groove - once one of them gets hot fox puts goodson in. makes no sense

people forget our running game took a while to get going last year....it's only week 3, a lot could happen.

We can't run to the right. Look at the film.

Swartz and Bernadeau are not opening anything. Fiametta is blocking fine. There is absolutely nothing to right.

We have literally NO outside run right now. Opposing defenses not only are putting 8 in the box now, they know we're going to run it up the middle. Combined with lackluster O-line, a overrated overpaid penalty machine in Gross, and a FB that isn't as good as the last one, it's not going to be good.

IMO, the only way we get around this is if the passing game starts getting better so they can't stack 8 in the box.
