I wasn't at the game because I had two-a-days up at college, so I can't post about it at all in my opinion. However, I played with Austin for three years and I can say with 100% certainty that there is absolutely NO animosity between Austin and Coach Gabel. As for the number of touches Austin had during the game, I can guess that a few factors influenced Coach Gabel's play calls.

First, as mentioned above, Austin isn't just an every down back anymore; he is an every down player. He is the renaissance man on Stevenson this year. Football, as I'm sure all of us are aware, is a grueling sport, and even a nationally ranked player will get tired if they almost never leave the field. I think that Coach Gabel is a very smart coach and I think he understands that while Austin is a great player he isn't a machine.

It never ceases to amaze me how coaches tend to out think themselves...Case in point, Austin White...You would think that a 3 year returning D1 starting runningback would be your horse..You would feed him the ball every chance you get...That did not happen..White touched the ball 15 total times..( running and receiving ).. They never gave him a chance to be "the man" when he is " the man " on that team....Their fullback #33 had more carries then him...And to be honest, he did a very good job..But he is not someone who can take it to the house at any time when you put the ball in his hands...So I just do not know what Gobel was thinking...Feed your horse..Dont play the "nice" guy and try and get everyone involved...Again, totally out thinking himself...

With that said, Pats was right about 1 thing..The offensive and... ]]> feeds@kickapps.com (TOMMYZ) http://michiganhsfootball.com/sreply/33036 Sat, 29 Aug 2009 08:13:12 PST http://michiganhsfootball.com/reply/33017/t/Franklin-Stevenson-Week-1.html#reply-33017 ]]> feeds@kickapps.com (sevens) http://michiganhsfootball.com/sreply/33017 Fri, 28 Aug 2009 23:08:12 PST http://michiganhsfootball.com/topic/7053/t/Franklin-Stevenson-Week-1.html feeds@kickapps.com (pats99) http://michiganhsfootball.com/topic/7053 Fri, 28 Aug 2009 22:00:04 PST
