Is Hurd the most poorly utilized back we've had?

I mean, the guy is a 6'4", 235 lb, 4.5 running, Mack truck driving machine. The best we can get him is a sub 4.0 ypc against Appalachian State where he could start at DT?

I get that the blocking hasn't been there, but too many east-west playcalls giving him the ball, and not enough north-south. I get that it's "the offense we run", but I also think good coaches adjust their game plans to feature the skill sets of the players they possess?

Is this what's going on here? Or is it something else?
