Now up to no. 2 in the nation. Dude is an absolute beast.
Wait until he gets to KU this weekend. I think 400 yards and 5 TDs are in order.
The game plan will not allow ISU to stomp someone.
I am hoping for 150 then a quarter on the sideline watching Brock.
I hope we don’t need him in long enough to get that much. I’m thinking 200 yards and 3 TD’s in the first half, and then watching Kene and Brock all second half.
I should have qualified my statement. 400 yards, 5 TDs in the first quarter. There. How's that. Then Jirehl comes in a busts out for 200 and 3 TDs.
Oh, by the way, Northwestern curbstomps the hoks by 30 on Saturday.
We need Jihrel to get some carries this weekend. Critical for his psyche I think.
I am still amazed how bad our passing game looks at times when we run the ball as well as we have. Usually establishing a good running game results in some opportunities to take some shots down field when the defense is stacking the box against the run and we haven't seen a lot of that so far. Even some more play action fakes to throw a deep ball would open up this offense some more.
I want to see us get to work early this week against a weak Kansas team, would love to see some Dekkers and Jihrel.
I’m not sure why you think that we’ve “run the ball well”. Take away Breece’s two big runs, and he carried 18 times for 49 yards. That’s 2.72 ypc, and distinctly not a consistently good rushing attack.
And that’s generally been par for the course for his season—big runs buff up the small holes the OL has opened otherwise.
If you want an answer for that, I’m pretty sure that the simple fact that two of our best three linemen are out has something to do with both the running and passing issues—especially the latter.
Oh, and the fact that by far our single most experienced wide receiver returning, Tarique Milton, has been hurt is a huge factor too. At this stage, he and Xavier Hutchinson would complement one another well.
