From 10 to 13 to 19, the number of carries per game for Texas Longhorns freshman running back Keaontay Ingram have gone up every week since he carried the ball eight times against the TCU Horned Frogs after sitting out the previous game due to injuries.
Still, that’s not good enough for some observers, who still believe that Ingram should receive more carries. Some believe that head coach Tom Herman and his staff simply don’t believe in giving heavy carries to any single running back.
So when Herman was asked about Ingram’s carries on Monday, he gave the most in-depth answer of the season about how the staff is handling the workload for the freshman running back.
