We have one running back that is really struggling, but seeing way more carries.
Mark Stoops doubled down Monday, insisting he didn’t “regret” the overtime play calls that handed the ball twice to running back Dante Dowdell at the goal line in Kentucky's crushing 16-13 loss to Texas. But the numbers, and basic football logic, tell a different, frustrating story.
The numbers don't lie
Dowdell’s season stat line is dangerously deceptive. On paper, 274 yards on 67 carries looks respectable.
