Reading through another thread, a poster commented on our 3 headed monster at RB. Question I have is -- how many handoffs per game for the trio will best assure victory?

We clearly are going to want to run it somewhere in the 60-65% range for the game with a green QB, and if you are WINNING you can do that because you are killing clock. I'd like to see us run the ball 30-35 times a game. Spread that out over the three guys and just keep blasting the holes with fresh legs. Will be awesome to see what they can do. I'm hoping for something like the 2006 Arkansas squad with Felix Jones, Darren McFadden and Peyton Hillis. Would be very cool if we have a legacy like that one day
