We really missed him today in the running game. I don't think Shontrelle can carry the load. Too much dancing in the backfield. He needs to hit the hole an go. Seems like he tries to bust every run for a TD instead of just making positive yards. Thoughts?

Agreed

He has to dance because defenders are always in the back field.

I would say this is pretty spot on. I agree.

That's why I like JW back there. He makes one cut to make a guy miss and then gets up to top speed until his brought down. No dancing.

Definitely could have used him today he's been fairly productive in nearly every game this season. Johnson kind of hit a wall after that Tulsa game it seems.

Ouch. We definitely missed him today. Hopefully Nealy can run in a similar manner, as SJ dances too much.

The entire offense has kind of hit the wall since that game.

And Rhoads only gave Nealy the ball once so not a ton of confidence in him it seems.

Everytime he is on the field he looks lost and cannot pass block at all.

 

[isuno1fan]

Nealy needs some more carries. Just concerned about his ball security as a Frosh.

 

[Wesley]

Where is Duck Hollis when we needed him.......

 

[MaccloNe]

it was White's MCL. Will miss the next two games.

 

[cowboycurtis]

From where I was sitting I could white on crutches all game. Nealy looked like he was in slow motion in the few plays I saw him in.

Is White the 2nd team running back? I was thinking Johnson was the starter.

James White has been the 1st team running back all year. Johnson has been 2nd team, although they've split carries.

 

[swarthmoreCY]

White is the starter.

 

[chuckd4735]

CPR just said he had surgery and is progressing well. Wont play this weekend for sure.

I thought I saw somewhere it was expected to be 2 weeks. So maybe back for Baylor game, probably back for Oklahoma game.

 

[State43]

I think Rhoads should give Nealy and Standard a shot at some playing time if Johnson and Woody can't get anything going.

 

[Wesley]

Considering SJ serious injury, I would split time with several backs.

James White is such a good pass receiver that we miss him.

 

[cyclonepower]

White is our best back and its not close...
