Is 51 carries in a game too many carries for a high runningback?

Riverview runningback Ali Boyce had 51 carries for 229 yards against Vero Beach last week. It got mixed responses. Some people said he is a real workhorse and can handle the load. Other said that is too many carries for a high school runningback in a single game.

I'm curious on this 

 

Did Riverview not throw it or did they just have like 100 offensive plays

A couple option pitches. They had one intermediate pass on their final scoring drive. YAC plus pass were good for over 40 yards. Aside from that, just option pitches. 

Their principal offense was either hand off to Ali Boyce, or QB keeper. 

To answer the original question posed in the topic, I think 51 carries is too much, both because it wears out your back, and because you would think it makes your offense too easy to key in on if he is more than 50% of your offense.

So we gonna litigate to limit the number of carries backs can get? Then we need to limit the number of passes QBs can throw and the number of blocks OL can make., etc....

We could just do away with the whole intentional contact thing but we'd need to keep the pads and helmets (someone might accidentally bump someone else), but put little ribbons on the little boys and let them play flag football instead. 

 

Sarcasm noted yet?

Of course someone decides to take it to the total opposite extreme. That is a lot of carries for one game. If he was up for it, which it seems he was, then cool, go for it. But you're talking about 2 or 3 games worth of carries in one game, I can see why that's looked at as a lot.

If he doesn't have a good game against DP, I certainly wouldn't be surprised.

He carried the ball 51 times....That means the DT engaged with the guard more than 51 times. Are we gonna talk about him also. Look, if you run a up-tempo offense then you are gonna get a lot of snaps. It seems like the LOS is gonna get the brunt of the contact. Lets all for once talk about those dudes up front playing every down in this new up- tempo era of football.

You know linemen don-t matter.  A running back  tweaks a knee and he has a trainer and three coaches tripping over each other to  help him and a lineman blows his out and they yell at him not to let them see him limp.  The old "we gotta have you for the playoffs"

    • I was actually itching to treat some wager some money on some sports matches that are happening above-board now. I wanted to let you guys identify that I did spot what I ruminate on to be the kindest site in the USA. If you fall short of to get in on the spirit, check it out-moded: [url=https://pokeronline.guru/online-gambling/]https://pokeronline.guru/online-gambling/[/url]
    • Perhaps the best RB in Tampa Bay iin 2023 saw his program close, and is looking for a home. If he stays in the area,Venice is a good bet. (Lakeland may be as well).
    • And if that same newsletter asked the Osceola County Sheriff Department, what do you think the response would be? If you asked, members of the Chamber of Commerce? (Essentially a union of businesses) If you asked a group of nurses? If you asked a group of lawyers? Also a union cares about the working conditions of their members, but the working conditions of teachers are the learning conditions of students as well. People are attracted to careers because of the values that come with those careers. Political Parties attract people based on their values. So it shouldn't be surprising that certain professions attract certain people in certain careers. You act as if the principal's first question when we have a 5,000+ teachers shortage in this state is "who do you vote for? And are you a member of the union?"
    • I feel like y'all are always solid so I don't see y'all going no worse than 7-3. Biggest question mark for Cocoa is their O-line since they are only returning 1 and on the defensive side they only return their blue chip edge in their front 7 
    • Coach Wiseman, let me just preface this by saying that you were the best HC Sarasota's program has had in the last 20+ years. You brought them from being a perpetual losing program to the doorstep of competing with Venice for a district title and a deep playoff run. SHS will curse the day they fired you now that they are back in a rut. You are a true class act, and nothing will ever convince me otherwise.  Our backfield is certainly sparse right now. We do have Dorian Jones, a rising sophomore runningback whom did considerably well considering his limited playing time last season. Our offense will need an overhaul with the graduation of 3 offensive linemen and almost our entire receiving corps. Our defensive line will be strong with the return of Ke'shawn Vaughn, Elijah Jones, and Asharri Charles. Our linebacking corps graduates virtually everybody but should have at least one bright spot with the return of Ben Zarkawiecz. Our defensive backfield is still a work in progress with the graduation of Lester and Platt. At the moment, we have more question marks than exclamation points. And that's not a good feeling with the kind of competition Venice is going to face.
