I don't know if Fowler would have the speed to get out of the backfield quick enough following a hand off. He'd always be getting hit first a yard deep, then again at the LOS. He's not like Ingram or Richardson, who both usually have good speed built up before they ever take a hit.
On Richardson...Is it just me, or does that kid go LOOKING for someone to hit when he gets the ball? Man, it looks like he wants someone to come try and tackle him, usually fail, and then resume his run to the end zone. Ingram just hits the hole so quickly you don't even get the chance.
That Duke game was like a track meet for our guys.
