Some possibilities:

1. Redshirt. We could be limiting his participation to a few key games.
2. Poor vision. You can be a tough, fast runner and still be a bad running back.
3. Poor hands. Does he drop a lot of passes out of the backfield? If so, that would make the play-callers job even more difficult. Heupel/Golesh are already limited by poor QB play. Can't afford to also coddle a RB.
4. Poor pass-protection. Same logic as above. If you aren't as good at protecting the QB as the other guy, good chance they're going to go with the other guy.
5. Ball security. We don't know how many balls he has or hasn't fumbled in practice.
6. Undisclosed injury/medical condition. The guy could have been in concussion protocol against BG & Pitt for all we know or maybe he's recovering from a pulled hammy so they don't want him going full speed. Or maybe he fell on a helmet.


In summary, the possibilities are endless.

I'm inclined to go with the Helmet thing... Or some type Illness. These days, one never knows.

And now we have a thread asking why RB5 doesn’t see the field. Dude is literally behind a walk-on as of today.

I think there is at least a mystery behind why Beckwith is side-lined: he could be hurt, in the dog house, lacking a position fit, bad in pass protection . . .

We aren't asking him to run the offense though so it will be a little strange if we don't see him get a touch against Tennessee Tech. Everyone should get a chance to show what they can do against the not-so-Golden Eagles, so I'm looking forward to seeing the whole damn roster if possible.

Early on in practice the coaches were saying he was having issues with pass protection. I am not sure if it is still an issue but he will not see the field until those are cleared up.

Insiders within the program said the coaches were unhappy with his effort in practice. Apparently, he has been inconsistent in that regard, meaning he brings it some days but not everyday. Or, has great effort during some portions of practice but not others. You've heard these coaches say repeatedly in interviews "How you do anything, is how you do everything." They are building a culture of earn it all day, every day.
