Why did SJ have so few touches at RB?

[Jeffreyisu]

Anybody know why White was in there way more than SJ?

 

[KFitzy87]

Because they're both good

 

[BBHMagic]

SJ is better but he "fumbled". (Kind of, not so much if you look at the replay)

 

[Bigman38]

He fumbled, can't play someone who can't hold onto the ball when a game is that close.

 

[MJ271]

My larger question is why Woody was only in for one play, and not at all when we were withing Iowa's 10 yard line

Yeah, Iowa kind of got lucky with where Hyde's helmet happened to hit

In the chat room someone said Woody was still struggling with an injury.

 

[Mesaclone1]

Woody had been dinged up so I'd guess he wasn't 100%...astounding that Shontrelle wasn't in there more. Yes, he had one fumble...but that was a perfect hit right ON the football, anyone would have fumbled in that circumstance.

EXACTLY! He was freaking DOWN! I rewinded it over and over on a 135" screen. He was down and the fact the didn't review it was complete horse$&!@!

THat F****g pisses me off. I replayed it several times in the slowest DVR format you can and he was CLEARLY down. It wasnt even close!. That should have been reviewed and reversed! That was Big 10 review crew homer job if there ever was one! COMPLETE BS. This game should not have even been close!

wasn't it a big XII-II crew?

 

[IcSyU]

wasn't it a big XII-II crew?

Refs yes.
Replay crew was Big 10.

 

[justcynn]

hot hand will get the most touches, White had a very nice run on a short pass and overall I thought played better today. Don't like the running backwards from either back though

 

[mwitt]

Anyone have a screenshot of Shontrelle down? I thought the same thing watching it live -- everyone I was with dismissed it when I said he looked down. When the announcers didn't even address it, I figured I was blind.

 

[cyhiphopp]

THe Iowa D was killing both of them in the second half and tried to force us to go to the air. It was a good strategy for them.

Yeah. At one point in the 4th quarter after several 3 and outs in a row by our offense, we got the ball back at mid field to start a 1st and 10 and Iowa had 8 guys in the box and press coverage on our receivers. They were begging, BEGGING to get beat badly by play action on 1st down and we ran zone read again for a lost of yards.

Can't believe we didnt torch them a couple times.

 

[Royalclone]

With SJ coming off injury, it makes sense to bring him along building up to the real season, especially since we have a back like White.

Refs were big 12.

 

[CTTB78]

The only thing I wish our coaching staff would have done differently yestersay was to play SJ more. White's good, but I think SJ has the edge for making the tough extra 2-3 yards.

 

[mwitt]

Refs were big 12.

Big 12 officials on the field -- Big 10 officials in the booth.
