Smith is going to miss the Washington game. Who's going to get the carries? Filkins? Go with 60 passes?

I actually think Filkins shows flashes of being a special running back some day.  Brenden Barrow has a little kick to him too.  Honestly, I'd much rather see a healthy/hungry younger guy play than watch EJ run out of bounds to avoid contact like he did last time out.  Put it this way, I think the outcome of the game would be the same with or without EJ playing.  You could put McCaffery back there, and I doubt it would be enough. :(  Hope I'm wrong.

You are probably right. We had McCaffrey in 2016 and look what happened.

At this point, I'll gladly take 2016...

I hope you are referring to the overall 2016 record and not the results of the Stanford Washington game in that year.

Correct.
