How is it not his fault? If you have the ball it's your fault regardless of which team caused it.
Cartavious Norton is going to be our next dude
- Thread starter CoKane
- Start date
Brock has shown why he's the clear-cut starter and we remain a great RB school. I loved the flashes we saw from Norton in game one, but zero reasons to rush him back. Sanders is fine to give Brock a rest here and there. Hope we start crushing Ohio early so we see more Sanders and Silas.
I think he did (most all stats I've seen of the game v Iowa show '100' yards).
Hope so anyway.
Agree. We will give it to him here for sure.
Cartevious is a great name. Lets not shorten it or misspell it anymore in titles 
It was also too bad he didn't get the TD. Doesn't that mark the first game in a long time that we didn't have a rushing TD? (I didn't look it up, but I'm just going off of Breece's long streak).

Cartographer Nortberg
Not sure if anyone has coined this in this thread yet, but if Norton takes off, I vote we call him The Anti-Virus, because he would work like an Anti Virus would on a computer, making the opposing defenses look bloated and slow as he blazes through them on the way to record touchdown production.
Assuming he's anything less than 100% and Brock/Sandars/Silas are handling the load just fine, there's really no reason to bring him back. Besides, it'd be nice to have some fresh legs in week 6 or 7 before the bye or if someone else goes down with an injury.
I really don't see any reason to try to schedule around a redshirt - if he's the dude, he's going to be gone before year 5 and it's not like the coaching staff has struggled to bring in top end RB talent. On the other hand, no sense in burning it for 2-3 carries per game either.
That is not a horrible idea. I guess it will depend on how quickly he can get to fully 100% without risking re-injuring the HS.
About the allowed "4 games". Does that include any potential Bowl game? In other words, would he be allowed 5 games, including a bowl? I would say not, but it hurt to ask.
A time honored Cyclone Fanatic tradition of attempting to come up with a nickname.
What nicknames have not sucked?
X is cool and has a cool song.
I feel like Thomas arrived with Matty Ice.
Tinsley had a playground nickname “the abuser” that nobody used.
Steele Jantz was better than a nickname.
Lots of fanatics really failed with Breece nicknames.
Threesus of Nazareth was great but a mouthful and didn’t take off.
Very few have been good ideas. Threesus was really good.
It was a fluke that shouldn’t have happened, but it’s still on the RB to hold onto the ball.
Silas burned his redshirt by playing in his 5th game, which was the bowl game against Clemson.
The number of games will have zero impact on when Norton returns. If he is as good as advertised then he won’t be here for a fourth year let alone a fifth. Also, with NIL/transfer rules you have to coach for today not next year. No guarantees he will be here.
3sus took off big time. WRNL invented it, Raygun made a shirt, and Naz himself played into it on the court
Didn't Monte have a nickname that nobody ever used, or at least not that I'm aware of? Man-man?
Yeah i remember now. The "Of Nazareth" part faded but was implied. even shorter just 3sus like you wrote it.
There has to be at least one or two other cool ones.
Of course The Mayor was a good organic one.
