I guess if you're just trying to hang on for dear life to win a game and sputter, fiddle fart around, get your QB hit 27 to 30 times a game with no real ability to change a game or rip off long runs. Than Hubes is the guy, he knows the playbook, gets his assignment most of the time, and doesn't fumble much. 
Getting the assignments right (most of the time) is particulary important when your two best receivers are out of the game, and the defense is keying on your QB running game. That's really when you don't want a workhouse at the TB position.
Of course, but like most personnel issues in this program that is a recruiting issue. They need to go recruit a bigger/better back that can run zone read, lead/power, block, and not turn the ball over. I really don't think there is a better option on the roster, despite the strange gE Robinson infatuation. Maybe Leverett someday (from what I've heard).
How can Robinson be an infatuation if he's only played like 2 plays? You know as well as I do that hyper conservativism anal rententivity probably keeps a higher number of talented players off the field at K-State more than any other program. Because of the constant (and IMO absurd) desire to check into the "perfect play" that keeps guys off the field when the situation sometimes calls for sticking a guy out and there and seeing what they can do. While it may not be the best example, why is it that a PROFESSIONAL football team can stick Bryce Brown out there for entire series of plays, but LHC LHC LHC Bill Snyder can't? Oh I know, B. Brown's mind was in it, he didn't really want to be there, blah, blah, derp, derp, derp. Welp, maybe sometimes guys get that way because they're dealing with a coach who won't play them because they don't catch every audible, check with me, audible again, rush a play jump offsides/call a timeout check with me again nuance of an offense that builds no efficiency or continuity unless you've got 5th year seniors across the board.
