From what I've seen in a few CU games, Edwards isn't capable of much between the tackles. His elite skill is speed so he has to get to the edges or get a catch out of the backfield in space.
Whoa. Nobody is capable of much between CU's tackles. Their OL is horrible. Still averaging 4.6 ypc and 9.6 ypr with that OL though. Sanders has been sacked 34 times this year. In comparison, Will Howard has been sacked 8 times.
I didn't mean it as much of a knock on Edwards. He's a true freshman so I don't expect him to be elite at everything at this level. The other RB tends to do better between the tackles and gets a majority of those carries. Edwards will likely do better in there once he's had more time in the weight room.
I do agree that the CU O-Line sucks but there are a lot of other reasons for CU's sack numbers. They've attempted 50% more passes, they hold the ball longer when they do pass (couldn't find a stat on this), and I've seen speculation that they're trying to pad Sander's passing stats by not throwing it away (seems unlikely).
I'm very pro Dylan Edwards transferring to K-State. We saw what Ward's speed combined with the defense keying off Johnson's run game can create. Edwards would be even better.
