Meh, i argued with someone on the premie board about this. Came out that Horvath averaged 5.3 yards per carry on the first drive of every game. Brohm just moved away from the run as the game progressed, Especially in the second half. I dont think he was at his best last year and felt a ton of pressure and it impacted his game planning. It certainly wasnt as crisp as it had been in prior years.
You mean where i said "it aint great but it aint the problem"?
you're not engaging in conversation.
Weird, that is exactly what i said and goes against everything you said and you posted it.
It would be nice to here realistic views of players with both positives and negatives, although I would dislike real player bashing.
This.
Mid-tier is being generous, unfortunately.
Exactly why I love Zander. Other teams may have a back who ran 14 times for 70 yards with a LG of 50 years. Tremendous speed, but that means he had a great run but the other 13 times he picked up 20 yards. That is not ball control and gets the O off the field quickly. If Zander rushes 14 times for 70 yards and has a LG of 18 times that means he ran the other 13 times for 52 years and we have ball control.
Right. If we can finish off drives better than what we have shown, than I would be more likely to agree with @mediaexpert. I will say although Horvath lacks speed, he does have pretty good hands. The coaches have gone to this at times, too. If our line can hold their own 5v4 and we can force teams into more zone with Horvath rolling out, I love the chances of our WRs finding soft spots to sit. The downside is we haven't shown the consistent ability to overcome a mishap (sack, dropped pass, errant throw, etc) - which speaks more to your point.
Few rushing attempts and when you look at ypc by called rushes it was actually good. Part of this was AO not being able to rush and taking too many sacks.
Good thing our o-line will finally be more of a bright spot than it has in the past
Confident Purdue will get a RB. Will be interesting to see who it will be over the next 14 days and where he’ll come from.
Hope you're right. We need a speed back at that position that can give Horvath a rest and provide a different dimension.
Answered my own question as I see Devin Mockobee committed within the past hour. He too will be a Freshman. We'll see how it pans out.
RB is a position where freshmen can make an impact- see 2019 King Doerue. Even better if they aren't needed as an every down back.
Yeah rb and wr seem like the positions on the offensive side where freshman can excel at. O line and qb are where they need the experience.
The leaky Defense that at times would put the team down two or three scores at half time......
Only game I recall that happening was nebraska and that was largely on shit special teams
Minnesota scored 21 points on first 4 possessions and held the ball for 17 minutes in the first half.
