And how much better do the starters get as the season progresses if you pull the qb in the first quarter. This is a team sport and they have to be successful together. No other way to do it except more snaps.  I'm pretty sure his completion percentage stays the same either way.

He is not disagreeing with any of this, having said that, Ballard has been extremely efficient which negates any stat padding in my opinion, it is what he has done with the opportunities he has had which is so impressive.....

Just on huddle and highlights. Nothing bad, but why not feed the RB''s Less chance of your qb to take hits. 

[Bullring99]

How many rushing tds does #2 have? More than #47 and #20? Just curious, you got two great RB why not feed them the ball inside the 10?

[Bullring99]

I bet #47 can't wait till next year to get the ball more with #2 gone.

Is it efficient? Does he get denied at the goalline... No

He’s only used on offense when needed so no one gets hurt. He beat up Betsy on offense though. If you make it to next week’s game he will do it again. He’s another FBS D1 recruit.

I'll answer that question and I Know, watched, and played under Ballard before he was a head coach. Cade is 5'10 205lbs and squats more than anyone on the team. If he can QB sneak it in behind that big line and his strength why would any coach take a risk of a hand off?  Don't have to worry about a hand off mess up or penetration from the D.  Ballard is not the leading rusher on the team and has only been the leading rusher in 2 games all season.  Through the Regular season #47 Youngblood had 34 carries for 271 yards 7 TDS.  #20 Gillespie leads the team in rushing with 490 yards on 36 carries and 7 TD's.  Ballard had 9 TD's on the year with most of them being within the 2 yard line (outside the long run against DB on guess what a QB sneak, and 13 yard TD run against Betsy).  Ballard rushed for 394 yards on 45 carries.  The Devils had 30 rushing TD's in the Regular Season and Ballard accounted for less than 30 % of the rushing TD's and less than 25% of total rushing yards for the team who ran for 1583 yards this year.

Which set up a touchdown against EH when everyone gunned for the 1 and 2 hole and cam was wide open

That's pretty even stats, #2 is built like a RB and can throw it. You think it hurts the Devils to have two easy playoff games and helps the winner of the Betsy/AC game playing a tougher game before the 3rd round? No matter what it's going to be fun this Friday.
