Honestly I am not buying that Montgomery is a better option. I can only judge based on what I see, and what I see in games is a back in Montgomery that can give you 4-10 yards, with 10 the ceiling. In Warren, I see just as much capability between the tackles with the ability to turn a 10 yard play into a 30-40 yard TD.
Everyone here may be drinking the Kool Aid but outside of somewhat better recruiting, this staff has not done anything here. Honestly, if we go by ISU track records Warren has done far more at ISU than the Campbell staff. Completely abandoning the run in the OkSt game in the second half was not a Montgomery beating out Warren thing. It was CMC not trying to shorten the game, for whatever reason. He had only a couple good offensive weapons returning for his first year, and has uses one almost exclusively in Lazard, and lets the other one wither in a RB rotation.
Like I said, I have no idea how Warren practices but I do know how he plays. If Montgomery were better why wouldn't we try to give him 20 carries a game? Right now we don't look like a run first offense. We have line issues, but I have still seen decent production when they receive touches so that is not all of it.
Is Montgomery setting the world on fire? Definitely not. You bench 1,000 yard backs when Christian McCaffrey sets foot on campus. Not for a back getting 30 yards a game. There is something else here.
