Darrell Scott was a mega recruit of a running back who signed with Colorado, the most highly regarded talent at that position to end up in Boulder since Rashan Salaam.
A game into his sophomore season, all has been a disappointment, whether due to injuries, a lack of development, too much hype or a lack of coaching development.
Scott, who carried but once last week in an embarrassing loss to CSU, says he wants more opportunity to run the ball. You assume he was recruited to do such. He should be running the ball more. Of course, so should Rodney Stewart, so should CU.
The Buffs inability to dominate the ground last week was shocking and inexcusable. They are big and talented up front and despite digging themselves a hole on the scoreboard they should have been able to run effectively all game long.
Scott and Stewart are not the problem. The line takes some blame but not all of it. The Rams' defense gets credit but the coaching, the playcalling, takes the brunt of the criticism.
The Buffs need to run to win.
Even Cody Hawkins knows that deep down.
Does dad and offensive coordinator Eric Kiesau?
