It isn't the players.  It sure as hell isn't the RBs.  It is the predictable formations, gaps, and assignments that repeatedly fail and are not addressed that is the issue.  Coaching, coaching, coaching.  Nothing will change until that changes.

While I agree about the coaching, and have since our days on the mothership, Cook was a much better back behind a bad oline.  The line has been the bane of the Seminoles existence for a few years now (got Francios hurt this season in game one).  Yet, Cook broke FSU records behind that poor play, and didn't have a Perine to split carries with to spell him.  Meanwhile, Mixon ran behind a great line, against inferior competition compared to the FSU schedule, and had the benefit of Perine.

IMO, they Bungaled that pick as well.
