Eh people wanting a RB2 to spell EJ is a little different than the current situation
Nobody said the same thing last year. Everyone was excited because EJ was coming back.
We pry should have grabbed a guy for depth, but we lucked out and EJ stayed healthy.

Plenty of people said that. There was debate over whether we should have paid Dowdel instead, even into a few weeks into the season.
I don’t think this is entirely true. I’m too lazy to go back and look, but I’m fairly positive there were several posters who claimed EJ was mid and we were doomed if we didn’t recruit over him in the portal.
People that wanted Dowdell instead of EJ are either stupid or didn't watch any of the games after Dana was hired.
Quite a few stupid people when we were struggling to punch it in in the redzone the first few weeks.
We did almost all of our scoring this year in the first few weeks of the year so I have no idea what you are talking about
Did you forget the red zone struggles early, particularly in the ground game? Yes we scored alot vs HCU and Akron, but look at the other if you forgot I spose.
EJ had nearly 600 yards and 5.1 yards per carry last year
Nelson had 147 yards this year, with 88 coming in the bowl game against a team that was giving up over 200 yards a game in the second half of the season.
The coaches must not have trusted him if he averaged just barely over one carry per game.
