February 4, 20214 yr One of the things that made DAT so explosive is that CK used him so sparingly as a runner, lining up in the backfield, doing a "regular" run. Two carries in the Rose Bowl, both for very long touchdowns. A reporter pointed out the stat to CK after the game and he said, "Yeah, maybe I should give him the ball more often." He didn't... much. In DAT's last year, when he became the "every down back" (¿for lack of a better option?) he was not nearly as effective. People on this board were criticizing the coaches for running him so much. One person here said that he was being "thrown around like a rag doll" - and he was a couple times the game before it was written.
