JJ Bass
- Thread starter kingcy
- Start date
He faster than the other back and it showed. He is the only back that has showed he can break off a big run.
A-Rob gave us very little tonight, and I was surprised that we didn't change it up at RB before halftime.
I wouldnt say that anyone runs a LOT harder than A-Rob, he's always getting extra yards. I think if we can get the two of them going they could be a great duo.
I thought besides Arnaud's play in the second half, JJ Bass was the reason we came back. When he came in and started gaining some yards, I found myself yelling at the T.V. at Chizik: "Why the hell are you not playing this guy!!!" Put Arnaud and JJ Bass in and keep them there. Quit freaking changing backs and QB's.
I would hope this game showed the coaching staff who our QB and primary back will be for the Big 12. Give the freaking ball the JJ. Let him get in a rhythm, Please.

Just making a stab at answering your question, I have to make an observation. I couldn't help but notice that J.J. was inserted immediately in the first offensive series after half.
Gee. What a coincidence. Almost like he had just completed a suspension, say, of however many quarters, that just happened to keep him out...until halftime.
Just a guess--but does that make sense?
No. He has played at various times this season. He played quite a bit in the Kent State game. The staff keeps rotating him in and out. My point is that he showed a lot in this game -- leave him in.
Agree. JJ ran hard in the 2nd half. He's a power back where Robinson is a finesse back. Both will contribute, but JJ really asserted himself.
Also I really think Arnaud owns this team. Time to declare him the guy and let him grow.
I think it may have been his first carry of the game in the 2nd half when he took the handoff and just ran through the linebacker to gain an extra 3 yards. That alone, IMO, set the tone for the rest of game.
Also, where's Big Body been all year?(Marquis) Only thrown to about 3 times a game....

He fell down on one throw to him last night. He has certainly been a disappointment this season, as I had expected him to take over as the top receiver.
Ditto. He's been in more the last 2 games, but certainly not much of a threat. Odd.
It was good to see JJ do what he did last night. I think I was in the minority thinking that he was our best back coming into this season, and it looked like my assessment was wrong after the first three games. Hopefully we're able to assemble some kind of a consistent ground game.
I might be wrong, but I thought he lead the team in receptions against Iowa. Either way, his production has been less than I anticipated.
