Could be in this case. But what people are getting at is where has he been all season after his late season uptick in usage last year was instrumental in helping to turn our season around. Where was Saturday earlier in the game? Get him in there early and get him going.The clock is ticking.

For three games following the SMU game in 2018 Dauphine had more than 15 carries. That was the only stretch of his time here that he got 15 carries or more. The last three games of 2018 (immediately after that stretch) saw him have 12 carries for 57 yards versus Houston, 6 carries for 14 yards versus Navy and 8 carries for 31 yards versus ULa-La. Hardly what I would call the "bell cow" performance some have claimed for Dauphine "late last season."

His carries tripled during that period and we began winning. He then nicked his ankle thus the cut back in carries. It was important enough that Fritz literally went to him on the field and told him his carries were going to go up and they did.

Not questioning that at all. But his carries went back down for WHATEVER reason, and he's not seen that many carries any time since. So to say he carried the ball a lot more at the end of last season is misleading, his carries returned to his norm by the last 3 games of the season, and haven't gone back to anywhere close to 15 carries/game since. Perhaps his size has something to do with him not being able to handle that kind of workload and the coaches know more than we do?

The fact is his carries went up by triple the amount and we started winning and he helped us get the big mo going. He was a critical factor in our turnaround. As to his size he is plenty big enough and he runs better between the tackles than some want to admit. Like I said he suffered an ankle injury which happens to RB's of all sizes. Ruse made a mistake with him last year till Fritz stepped in. This season Fritz has said publicly that he told Hall not to be fooled by him at practice which was a reference to the fact that while he practiced hard he just has another gear on game days. So unfortunately two years in a row we've had an OC make a mistake when its come to his usage. People are rightfully calling for him to get more of a load.

Agreed. Tulane is much better than it was a few short years ago, however, that fact is lost in translation since some posters expected Tulane to be 8-4 or better this season when that expectation wasn't based on any tangible results on the field.anEngineer wrote: ↑Sun Nov 17, 2019 11:12 am There is certain bipolarism on this site. I try to ignore the ridiculous, but sometimes it's just too insulting to the important progress that has been made by President Fitz, Troy Dannen and Coach Fritz. With this schedule 6 years ago, we have 2-3 wins right now and are absolutely blown out in the others. Am I satisfied? No way. The important thing is that I know the previously mentioned Tulane representatives aren't satisfied either and are working tirelessly to continue the improvement. In the end, I believe that's all we can ask.
To be fair to those posters, Fritz has a history of causing his programs to see a significant jump in wins at some point in his first few seasons, and, unfortunately, it doesn't look like that will occur at Tulane.
First of all, it wasn't anywhere near that bad despite the horrible weather. Second of all, you don't want to compare attendances.Dave breslin wrote: ↑Sat Nov 16, 2019 11:07 am I’m currently sitting on the 35 yard line at Lincoln Field.

I wouldn't blame your D for that. We have top AAC talent on O. We just haven't put it together. We have too much talent to be 'brutal' all the time.

Your D wasn't too bad either. If your defensive front and LBs hadn't stifled our offense, I think it would have been a much different game. A hard hitting bunch. Good luck with Cincinnati and see you in New Orleans next year.

Temple's offense has SUCKED this year. Sorry, Temple fan, but that's the brutal truth.
If they've got top AAC talent on offense they should be looking for a new OC, because their offense has been horrible all year. They stink, and we made them look good.

And yes, Hall's offense is MUCH better than that of the last three years. But we've come out and played like horseshit the first 15-20 minutes of our road games. PLAY 60 Minutes then THINK about challenging for a conference title. Play like we have through 10 games, and it's not even close to a pipedream. We're not anywhere close to good enough to show up at halftime. And this Temple team is not that good, but making us look silly.anEngineer wrote: ↑Sat Nov 16, 2019 12:19 pmI don't think Hall is the problem here.

Yes, his QB is inconsistent. But a major part of that falls on the OC to get him into a flow early in the game. Figure it out and earn your 6 figure salary, coach Hall. Thus far, Hall has shown us the ability to be creative. But get your players to play out of the gate, not after 20 minutes or so.JerseyWave wrote: ↑Sat Nov 16, 2019 11:58 am Somebody explain to me how Will Hall is considered one of the best assistant coaches in the country.
If Fritz gets hired away, I want Holtz or the UL-L coach ahead of Hall, who is way inexperienced to be a HC in the AAC. It's 13-0 (and would be worse if not for the Temple ineptitude) and we're punting. It's going to be 20-0 at the half, if we're lucky. So much for a bowl game after Christmas.
As far as the PI goes, it's been a Tulane problem going back to the 90's. Our (supposed) best db recruit NEVER looked back for the ball and was many times flagged for failing to do so. Lots of posters loved Elpeage, I thought his neck must have lacked flexibility, because he never looked back and it cost him and the wave often.

winwave, you consistently throw out the phrase that his carries "tripled the amount and we started winning". I'm sorry, but just because he went from 2 carries a game to 6 doesn't make him a bellcow. If they had started giving it to him 15-18 times every game instead of 5-6 times, then yes. But he only had three games that he actually carried 15 times in the game. Then it went back to 6 and 8 carrieswinwave wrote: ↑Mon Nov 18, 2019 9:37 am The fact is his carries went up by triple the amount and we started winning and he helped us get the big mo going.

R- His carries did triple for those three games after the SMU game when we made several changes which is the period I have talked about . He went from about 5-6 carries a game to 15 -18. He had hundred yard games in there and teams had to account for him and his game breaking ability. We won all three.I never said he was a bell cow . I said he was a difference maker in that stretch and he clearly was. As I posted before it was important enough that Fritz grabbed him on the field right after the SMU game and told him his touches were going to go up and they did till he nicked his ankle. Both Fritz and he spoke to that in interviews right after that game. You don't think he was a factor in our turnaround I think he clearly was. Funny that people back then were clamoring for him to get more carries because they could see his ability and were happy when he did. Now people want to say it's no big deal.RobertM320 wrote: ↑Wed Nov 20, 2019 7:58 amwinwave, you consistently throw out the phrase that his carries "tripled the amount and we started winning".

Not at all. He's high on him. That's why he insisted he get more playing time at that point last season. Earlier this season he was quoted saying he had told Hall not to be fooled by Dauphine at practice as he had another gear speed wise in games. I think it was the game after that that Dauphine suffered the hand/wrist injury. Hopefully we get to see him break a few long ones before this season is over.

All I care about is why aren’t we using Dauphine (wide runs, screens, short passes, etc) more, NOW. Last year is way back in the rear view mirror.
Tulane is the University of Louisiana
