Two Steps Forward, One Back:
Against the Kansas State Wildcats, the Roadrunners struggled with something that their name would say they should excel at. It wasn't just that running ball was a struggle, it was that the Roadrunners were losing a yard for every two that they gained. A large part of the lost yardage was due to the sacks given up on quarterback Blake Bogenschutz, but we'll get to that later. Running back Jarveon Williams gained a net of 31 yards over 31 carries. If that was against the Kansas State defense, those numbers could be even more anemic come 2:30 Saturday.
