Obviously you will need both to be a truly great offense, but this is why in my opinion the RB that flipped today is not a huge loss. Last team to win the national title where the running game and an elite RB were the clear focus was Bama in 2015. And Derrick Henry is a complete unicorn.
We almost did it in 2017.
Michigan did it last year with a big time running game and defense, but their RBs weren't elite playmakers. Solid, kind of like Zamir and Kenny Mac.
Just like the NFL is showing with their roster management and budgeting, there is no need to spend a crap load of NIL at the RB position on high school recruits. If you end up with a three star Jeanty type that was underrated? Yes, pay him once he proves it. But if what FSU spent on Kromah is true, Georgia would be crazy to match that or come close to it, even if we had the funds to do so.
