I don’t think Brock was anywhere near healthy since the KU game
The margin of loss in those 3 games was so small, it wouldn't of taken much to tip it the other way.
Brock had 104, 100, and 76 in the first three games...that 76 was on 7 carries. He got hurt on the first play of game 4...his injury should not be downplayed. Norton needs reps as a true freshman.
The reason the offense struggled in the other areas is because of the lack of a run game.
On Norton's second touchdown, he KO'd #32 for WVU.
Norton likely still isn't 100% from the hammy. He's going to be a good one if he can avoid the injury bug.
He's a RB we have not had in a while (norton). I wouldn't say he's a slasher, definitely a bigger RB for us. I think he can be good, not going to be our guy to do 50 yard runs or house calls like Breece would.
He is money in the red zone, I know that. We have been severely missing someone who can take a negative 1 yard run into a 3 yard run, he did that multiple times today.
Yeah that’s how I remembered it, glad I’m not losing my mind.
He’s basically Stevie Hicks. Won’t wow you, but by the end of the game the other team’s defense is like “****. This guy again”?
God rest his saintly soul...
The ISU rushing attack was really good with Brock before he got hurt. Maybe it is just who you are playing, but after he got hurt it was really painful to watch the running game. He still didn't look 100% before today. Hopefully it isn't anything serious. ISU needs more than a couple healthy running backs.

Yeah, announcers said that Campbell said he was maybe 60-70% last week, and he looked like it as he was wincing after getting hit a couple times.
Didn't we lose him, Ennis Haywood, and Hiawatha Rutland all too young?
After seeing some of his runs today, I'm thinking better than that.
Freshman.
With development and learning the timing of his blocks?
Great potential.
Don't lower your head to tackle, kids.On Norton's second touchdown, he KO'd #32 for WVU.
The targeting rule is to protect defenders too, not just ball carriers.
