Options are good NU was forced to start 4 different I-backs in the first 5 games in 1995. Quality depth is important, are having different types of backs available. 2 Quote Link to comment

Not saying it will turn out that way — no guarantee. We have seen what TB can do when healthy. And we have heard great things about GB and MW, but we won’t know of course until we see them in games. Haven’t heard much about MJ. Not trying to drink Kool Aid. Quote Link to comment
suh_fan93 Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 I forgot Washington was the Under Armour All American game MVP even despite being the lowest ranked recruit on either roster going into that game I believe? I think so. Quote Link to comment

Two the of the three have never played a D1 snap the other has serious knee problems that have limited him the last 18 months. But just my opinion, I hope you end to right. 6 Quote Link to comment

I think the closest I'd be willing to go is potentially the best set of backs since the fall camp of the 2012 season when they had Abdullah and Burkhead returning, but I'd even be cautious about that. 1 Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 /fondly remembering the arguments from the last couple years where people insisted that Langs would run the ball despite all evidence to the contrary..... Quote Link to comment
brophog Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Hard to run the ball when you're getting your ass beat. 47 rushes vs Rutgers was the high, and one of the least creative rushing attacks this side of pop warner. Quote Link to comment

Comparing a group to a past group like that is not productive and pretty much just causes arguments. There is reason to be excited, though. Bryant was easily and decisively the best back last year and he might not rank in the top two or three this year! It's really my belief when watching Bryant last year that the offensive line was being brought down by the inept play of the other backs. Quote Link to comment
Enhance Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 A couple of people I know who saw practice this weekend said Bryant looked 'very good' in the scrimmage, for whatever that's worth. Quote Link to comment

I think Bryant is very good, when he can play. Unfortunately, that has been the problem. Quote Link to comment

Not defending Langs but it seems logical we would have run the ball a lot more had we been in the lead or close in score more frequently. 1 Quote Link to comment
desertshox Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 he also abandoned the run before giving it a chance to work. which kinda led to being behind and not very close in score. Quote Link to comment
