One of the few non-Davis bright spots of those years. He was a fun player to watch.

I’m shocked there isn’t a whole thread dedicated to this (“who else will be on the backfield besides Jirehl Brock”?), to be honest.

Our only others options are Walling and Doxson, if I’m not mistaken.

I’m fine with Brock carrying the load, but he can’t be out there 100% of the snaps.

Actually he can. No RB other than Hall played a single down in the Oklahoma game. It's not like we have been running 40 times a game. Anyone else you put in would pretty much just be to block and a signal to Clemson it's not a regular running play for that back.

The staff could go with a WR in spot duty at RB. Not sure if any of our WR's played RB in HS, but Jaylin Noel might be a good option. Good quickness and not too lanky. He returns punts and kickoffs, so we know he can take a hit.

It could telegraph we aren't running up the middle, but still have the option to run wide or pass and use Noel out of the backfield.

Ugh. Anyone else getting nervous? NHL, NFL, NBA all deferring games. NCAA basketball cancelling games. I really hope this goes off without an issue, but getting worried.

We have ten people going from 3 different cities. I hope this goes off without issue.

I think the lack of standard protocols will continue to help college football. I'm not sure why it's been so much of a different story for basketball. From what I read, college teams aren't testing unless you're symptomatic or ask for a test.

Give the ball to Rory Walling!!!!!!!!!!!

WIth Clemson supposedly playing elite defense, how much do our winning chances decrease without having Breece play? I like J. Brock but you can't replace what Breece does as a tackle breaker and his experience. I guess I just hope I'm not watching a game in which Purdy is running for his life on every play due to a lack of running game. Not that we haven't been there before. But I guess what ever happens, happens.

When Jirehl came in with Breece, he was actually the higher rated recruit. Time for him to show his stuff. He's got good hands...get him some looks out of the backfield. Just need the line to give Purdy time to do his thing. And, perhaps time to run more rpo to take advantage of Brock's running ability.

 

[Blandboy]

Convinced yet?

You're brilliant.

What else you need? Your name in the rafters next to Troy/Breece's jersey? A statue outside of The Jack?

Hmm only test people who are actually sick? No, that makes way too much sense.

 

[CycloneBax]

Does anyone know when the bowl tickets will show up in our accounts?

Yes, now that we have a vaccine and more knowledge of the effects of COVID, the protocols of 2020 are no longer relevant.

Well this is a bummer if you watch Cyclone games (in l the Cheez-it Bowl) on ESPN networks via YouTube.tv

YouTube TV Drops ESPN as Two Sides Fail to Reach Deal

For many, the weekend before Christmas is the unofficial start of the college football bowl season, but if you’re a cord-cutter with YouTube TV, you’ll have to wait. On Friday night, YouTube TV subscribers lost access to a basketball game in progress between the Los Angeles Lakers and Minnesota...

UPDATE: Sounds like ESPN and Google/YouTube kissed and made up pretty quickly:

YouTube TV Restores ESPN, Other Disney Networks After Reaching Deal YouTube TV Restores ESPN, Other Disney Networks After Reaching New Deal

And just like that, let us all welcome back ESPN and Disney-owned channels to YouTube TV. After a brief loss of over a dozen Disney-owned channels —

Pretty sure that's old. They reached an agreement today.

I agree. I wish there was more common sense used for the testing programs in sports.

Just a warning...

How do we actually know about his abilities?
He's had like 23 carries for the year. Who's to say he's not better then Breece? (I know the answer)
We won't know how good he is till he's the feature back.
Until then, we can't ***** about him.
