That's a reasonable breakdown of carries. But I still don't think it's impossible that a Barkley Hill, Leshun Daniels or a Markel Smith don't spring up the board. But honestly what we need to be successful is plays in the back field by our DL and LBers. We need our safeties to keep things in...

For what it's worth I'm not at all certain MW will be the lead back this fall nor am I concerned about it one way or the other. I for the most part trust the coaches are doing a good job. So whoever they put out there and the plays they call are fine with me!

PS.... I want to add I'm a Jordan Canzeri fan and I readily agree he still has more that he can show us. I just still think a power running back is what I prefer on my football team whether it be college or NFL. Also as another has already said the outside zone stretch isn't a classic cutback...

Well for what it's worth it really isn't a right or wrong thing though many of our more overt fans have made it somewhat personal at times. With that said I 100% concur on your thought about it normally being to the left as it would be with any tailback we have. Just based on the pure offensive...

That seems fairly obvious when you really think about it CP and I really enjoyed the thread that you guys were posting in from a while back. I honestly never even thought about the inside zone being the obvious spot for a cut back even though I did realize that cutback was there in the Wisconsin...

Well I apologize in advance but I could not disagree any more adamantly than I do. You run a great site and you are obviously a good fan but the numbers don't bare out the above so I propose just the opposite. The bad has jaded you so much you don't remember how much good there is...As I have...

Thanks 99, I greatly enjoyed the break down you guys all shared in that thread. I'm not much of an X's and O's guy so to have it broke down in that fashion helps me put some schematics to what I see happening. Conversely its also why I am so baffled by what some of these guys say or should I...

And here we are with another drastic oversimplification. I have to tell you the truth I honestly don't care what Eddie, Dolph or even John Miller have to say about how the game is getting coached. Theyre fans just like you and me. They think they see something, somebody else thinks they see...

Yeah it really is bizarre.... Some of it I attribute to Eddie Podalak. Some of these guys take anything he says for gospel and I don't really know why. I get that he is a great hawkeye and calls a good game but he's no football coach. Furthermore I won't be the least bit surprised next year...

Howdy Pres. O'Keeffe, yep still down in Bourbonais. As far as this cable stuff yeah it burns me. I call and cancel about every six months just to get my rate dropped. They are criminals and in fact I do drop it for real every now and then just to take a break from it. I honestly only have it...

Well who knows maybe in that new era of college football Iowa will be even more competitive. We seem to have pretty deep pockets all things considered.

Not exactly sure what you're saying or what your point is here. But there is no Big Ten without at least eight other schools, and while Iowa is no Michigan or Ohio State theyre still a viable/valuable commodity.

Couple thoughts here.... Texas has not fallen hard, its cyclical just like everything....and to suggest A&M has beaten them at anything is a major reach. In 2014 TAMU finished 6th and Texas 20th in the final Rivals rankings. In 2013 they finished 11th on the strength of 31 total recruits...

I have to confess I'm a fan of this brand of humor, good stuff. C

It it is mind boggling for sure. It's nice to talk with folks who watched the same games I did. Sometimes I feel like I'm in an alter-dimension...lol. This isn't to say it didn't work at times but that was good defense or poor blocking or both. Canzeri got ate up outside many times himself. In...

Lol... Well we all have our moments good and bad me included. But my experience has been these message boards are a lightning rod for tunnel vision. C

PS....I know how much fans love to compartmentalize things to justify their "vision", so I'll toss this out before anyone else does. MW, nor likely LD or even Bullock are cut back runners. I saw in that Wiscy game the cutback was wide open and MW couldn't get there. He can run outside...

Nice to see someone with an open mind.....its funny, even the smartest fan doesn't see what the dumbest coach typically does. There is always more going on 2, 4, 8 plays ahead than we see. Kudos to you, I get tired of the complaining...so I like people who try and see the "why" not just the...

Well then that's on him, I know what really happened and I know what Marc diagrammed after the season. C

Yes you are 100% correct this is indeed how fans think....they drastically over simplify everything. I couldn't have penned it out any better. As another said those were all top D's and quite frankly the "big" play or as fans like to call it, the "homerun" is all just fan stuff. Chris Johnson...
