This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Use the running back depth chart as an illustration. by MobileIrish

In 2019, ND basically used Tony Jones. He was a really solid back. After Tony, the team didn’t really trust anyone else. Karen Williams played sparingly.

In 2020, Kyren earned most of the carries. Kyren had a great year and led the team. He was a joy to watch. Chris Tyree earned significant playing time as a freshman. Tyree has a really bright future.

I really lost track of the running backs available in 1990 because there were so many. Ricky Watters (5 NFL Pro Bowls), Rocket Ismail (Heisman Runner-Up), Tony Brooks, Rod Culver, Jerome Bettis (NFL HOF), Reggie Brooks (5th in Heisman, second all time at ND in yards per carry after George Gipp). Other future NFL players that year included Willie Clark and Dorsey Levins (later transferred to Georgia Tech).

I may be missing others. Yes, ND has developed solid talent under Kelly. Depth is most definitely not the same as under Holtz.
