candyman93 Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 We’ve seen a dramatic shift in offensive philosophy. We will no longer recruit Braxton Miller / JT Barrett types. Consequently I expect a drop off in running back production going forward. I think we will try to recruit guys more like Travis Etienne instead of JK Dobbins.

Certainly pre-Waddle injury. You're right though, we have so many dudes that are legit out there, and that number will only grow as a lot of these dudes are freshmen or sophomores. This season is absolutely going to be a coming out party for Wilson. It's crazy, because Fields only incompletion today was on a dropped touchdown by Olave. Olave may or may not miss next week, but I think they will be fine out wide either way. As for backup QB, yeah, I could definitely see a different guy go out there first next time. Either way, I take it at least as a good sign, because most would have thought Stroud over Smith based on reviews. Maybe this was some sort of psychological confidence booster for Miller, or maybe he really is ahead in the battle, not sure. Good situation behind Fields though. Last season, Chugonov/Hoak was the 2/3. This season we have two talented first year kids and then Hoak probably the #4. Yeah, I'll take Smith over any WR in the country but as a group, not sure anyone is better than us. These last two classes are just so good especially this year's. I was driving to this cabin the first half and didn't see the drop. Good to see Fields was on point and started where he left off last season. We're definitely fine if Olave does miss next game but I'd obviously prefer he be out there. When you said Smith did you mean Miller? You said Miller the second time but just making sure I didn't miss something. You're right that it could be something where we just try both out over the course of the year in garbage time but I was definitely surprised to see Miller come out first. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NateDawg Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 I'm not even sure where you classify a JT Barrett. He wasn't overly athletic and certainly wasn't a great passer either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tress would Def change his schemes up for his QBs, Urbz had his identity and stuck by it. you can’t say “ we will no longer recruit Braxton Miller types.” He was one of the best players in the nation. 5* .98 ranking on 247.

THE DUKE Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Teague doesn't look nearly as explosive coming off his injury as he did last year. If he isn't 100%, then he shouldn't be out there. Not only did Sermon look better, I thought Chambers looked better than Teague as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might be physically ready to go but I doubt he is 100% mentally ready. I think he might have a better game this week because he was able to return and not get hurt. That is the first major battle. He just needs to get his confidence back in his body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbyPhil1781 Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Wife told me Fienbaum is saying the Wisconsin situation is the NCAA's doing bc they're the only team that could compete with OSU this year in the B1G and the punishment is their way of ensuring OSU makes it into the playoffs. Hope he saved some of that tin foil for dinner tonight. Sheesh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure there will be more effects felt, but this is a prime example, no margin for error on rescheduling games and a late start. I’m not even sure how they do standings in the Big Ten West if Wisconsin misses a few games. And yeah, Paul Finebaum is ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just glad they said that you only need to play 6 to be considered for the conference championship game. It's what we expected but the team looked pretty good against Nebraska and I feel we can hang, and beat, absolutely everyone in the country. I just hope we get our shot to.

Him and that other turd that I can't think of right now that nobody respects. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
