Silas could be a feature back at a Sun Belt type team. Just doesn’t have the size to be an every down guy in the P5.
or Iowa
Scales = good HS back.
Forgot about him being at ISU. Similar example of SanVig (sp?)
We have at least 2 RBs coming in next year..?I love the burst we saw on Saturday. Hoping we see more of that next season. Honestly, the RB room can't afford another hit with Silas leaving, and have no RB in the incoming class unless I'm mistaken. Going to have to hit the portal for one if not two.

Wasting a position on the field? A lead blocker is a wasted position on the field? lol I can tell you didn’t actually play in college2 back sets, quit using Rus (nothing against him, but it's wasting a position on the field), and use Eli on KR
Initially we were but when our coaches saw how well he was performing with the ball in his hands and the lack of production from the RBs on our roster, they asked if he would be interested in coming in as a RB instead, to which he agreedI’d heard we were recruiting Sama to be a DB. Would love to see him get a chance at RB.
We’ll I didn’t play in college but evidence suggests lead blocking was pretty meh.Wasting a position on the field? A lead blocker is a wasted position on the field? lol I can tell you didn’t actually play in college
BCClone, please stop with the logic…..This kinda tells us what CMC has been doing. Guessing player meetings if we have guys jumping that played some.
The problem is we didn't just use him as a lead blocker. We tried to use him in the passing game with No success. And his lead blocking didn't really help much on all those short yardage situations we failed in.Wasting a position on the field?

Agreed. Our congested formations yielded very little results. Then Rus had a hard time blocking in space when we did try to run outside. One example, early in the TCU game a defender ran right by him and cut down the ballcarrier for a loss on what looked like a promising play. We got spoiled the previous 5 years with Montgomery and Hall making something out of nothing frequently. This year we didn’t have that in our backfield.The problem is we didn't just use him as a lead blocker. We tried to use him in the passing game with No success.

Imo it would have been better to spread the field with another more athletic receiver rather than clogging the box.
