while i agree the impact of lewis' departure will not be great, mackfan could not be more wrong about the lack of importance of the rb in a leach offense.
they get plenty of touches. in 2006, shannon woods led the big 12 in all purpose yards. their ability to block/pick up the blitz is critical as well.
Yea the rb position is the most important part of the offense according to Leach. The rbs get alotta carries but their considered passes because the qb tosses the ball forward, but its basically a long hand-off.
With that being said Tech is deep at the rb position so it shouldnt hurt too much.
They still have Batch and Woods at the RB position. Harris is the one that is going to hurt. The so. was backing up sr. Anthony Hines and would probably be the '09 and '10 starter at the safety position.
