Loaded at RB

[Goo]

We averaged 7.7 ypc yesterday

Jeremy Payne 8.8
Pitchford 6.5
Walker 10.7
Martin 9.5

I know it was Grambling but I’ve watched enough football to know these guys looked great.

We need to see more of Landon Walker.

 

[BuffWarFrog]

I feel like I want more Denman

Games like this (Grambling) don't tell us anything about how we are going to play in conference.
Their worth is getting live action reps for starters and backups, picking up some confidence and getting 1 game closer to bowl eligibility.

If we maul the best run defenses in the B12, that's something to get excited about. Grambling..not so much.

Yes and I want more Pitchford on the goal.

Our OL looked subpar against UNC. I don’t think we’ll be great running team in B12. But I do think we have 4-5 legit RB’s. I’m sure they’ll transfer and he awesome like Hejny, Morrison, etc

We need to get compensated for finding these early stage venture investments and selling them as proven blue chip stocks.

I do like the idea. In an ideal world, programs would receive some kind of compensation when players get poached. To me that's a few steps towards full on professional sport structure and so forth.

Both Walker & Pitchford need more carries against Ark St. Pitchford had a good spring/fall camp and has an uncanny ability to accelerate at a greater than average RB rate once he hits a yard from the line of scrimmage. Makes Olineman realize they better thrust run block, or they are going to get bruised in the back.

That and he runs low at the goal line and as you say, with good acceleration.

I must have a “canny” ability to accelerate.

Forgot Denman at 6.8 ypc

Interesting to run for 285 net yards and no one had over 80.

We all seem to get into minutia (me included)that appears to be not so important.

I think this^^^ is important. IT keeps egos in check and legs fresh for later in the season.

I noticed that too. The best pass rushers have always had that ability to "get close to horizontal"

Eric Dickerson, Chris Johnson and Steve Bartalo (Colo ST) had that innate ability to get low. Bartalo ran a best 4.75 40 and was drafted by Tampa bay.

Who would have thought Pitchford ran a 10.7 100 meters at 197 lbs ? in HS? He is now 220 and even more reason to allow him to feast on the rock. Unfortunately, it may take an injury for the Landon Walker and Pitchford frog train to take it home toward a 10 win season.

I noticed that, all the more reason for 15 play, 8 minute drives!

Unless you're Barry Sanders, RBs only go as far as their OL takes them. See 2022.

I felt bad for Jeremy Payne against UNC

Arkst had defenders in his face as he took handoff. Should have to make spin move before getting to line

Payne needs to be more involved in the passing game. He is most dangerous in space. Kind of a Joe Washington light.
