Get when? Next game?
I'll say 18 Carries and a couple passes. And I'll say canzeri ends up with 8 Carries.

Garmon will get maybe 2. I'm not convinced, at all, that Weisman won't be starting come Saturday night. Those depth charts are put together on Sunday and since there was no high ankle sprain and no break, I fully expect Mark to go against PSU.
Agreed. Weisman at 75% is better than Garmon.

Almost all of them... if Weisman is still out.
Hopefully 5-6 in the 4th Qtr with Iowa well ahead and the game out of reach. If he has a large number of carries Iowa is in trouble. He doesn't look anything like a running back( or at least he needs time to develop, maybe thats why other schools were recruiting as a DB.

He will only get to play if Wiesman can go. Thems Kirks rules.

I was referring more to the fact that we seem to go with one back pretty much exclusively the whole game. I wish we'd spread the carries out a little more so we have more than one back at a time feeling what it like to get meaningful playing time.

I think if Mark can't go we will see more Canzeri then Garmon as Canzeri has the experience factor and will be less tentative.
Garmon was just getting a case of happy feet Saturday. He needs to trust the Oline and Tobin needs to step up because Mauti will be gunning for whoever is toting the rock. Mauti is quick laterally and will plug the gap if Tobin isn't playing his best game of the year. If Tobin can engage him for three or four steps then Garmon's quickness might get him to the secondary.
Play action is going to important because because if the safeties don't drop into coverage they will close on Garmon quickly. If that is the case Garmon isn't going to get as many carries as KF probably has in mind. I just don't think he can hold up to the kind of pounding he is going to be taking.
This is a serious concern if JVB can't get some kind of passing game going. He hasn't thrown much to the TEs in the middle of the field this year but will have to or we will be taking the red shirt off of Canzeri before we know it.
Of course if Weisman can play Saturday ....

I do not think Garmon looked bad as much as the plays they had him running were not right. He was fresh and has a bit more speed then MW yet they kept trying lazy power runs to the short side of the field. I would think with a fresh back and a tired D you might let him try the long side and use those legs to make the corner. It baffles me how this staff puts everything down on paper and will never try an alternate way of doing something. Maybe the long side of the field was more damp than the short side and I am just wacko for my way of thinking

He can get all the touches he wants as long as they are consensual touches.
