A couple of football nuggets to chew on

[ChrisMWilliams]

Just a few things I heard over the weekend...

-- RB seems to be a two man show. Johnnie Lang has really emerged in the offseason. He's right there with Breece. My gut says Breece wins out but Johnnie has been impressive and will get a good chunk of carries Saturday night.

-- I asked about Will McDonald ... not entirely surprising but he's still developing at LB ... will play a lot this year but I imagine ISU is going to ease him into the every down type of role. Pretty much what we heard in the offseason .. put him in spots to be successful. Don't ask too much too early. That sort of thing.

Excited to hear what you have for dipping sauce.

Thanks for the nuggets. I’m ready for a whole thanksgiving feast worth of football coverage!

Saturday night?

I've been trying to temper my expectations for Breece and not think he's the second coming of Troy or David. This is not helping me.... at all....

So we are off of Kene or Sheldon actually starting? Man Breece must be the real deal to win the job as a True Fr.

Based on the other stuff I have been reading it sounded like Kene was getting a lot of work with the 1's before he tweaked his hamstring. I would imagine he will be super involved as the seasons progresses.

Saturday night?

Bracing ourselves for the storm delay.

I was feel that way about McDonald all along. They have several very good LBers with experience that can play a lot of downs. I expect to see McDonald in as a mad dog pass rusher a lot. He looks like a great pressure guy who can completely flip a game with his rushing ability.

I prefer to vape my nuggets or turn them in to edibles.

Pulvermacher and McDonald are both going to play a lot and be good LB’s for ISU.

Think it might be ranch that pairs best with golden nuggets.

Are we getting an updated depth chart this week?

 

[Knownothing]

Hopefully Breece can pick up the blocking schemes. That is usually the biggest problem with Freshman backs.

I'm hopeful one will be released today.

Are we getting an updated depth chart this week?

Asked this in another thread. If the weekly press conferences are still on Tuesday, then maybe it doesn't come out until tomorrow? I don't know?

Physically, he should be able to handle the LBs.

He's not built like a typical freshman.
