Watch the Rutgers game and see the difference in weight impact. LM will be tackled several times from the side or head on by CB or S and be dropped right there; the Rutgers runner will run through several CB or S hits and several LB tackles. Unless the lighter guy makes you miss re movement vs direct forward force he is going to be less of an impact guy inside. You can not wear down an offense with a 160 lb back pounding inside averaging less than 4 ypc. Maybe the Orgeon or WV guys can with their wide open formations and much larger YPC but not Uconn.
A 160 lb inside running back is a losing proposition, in physics and in CFB.
