hack Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 sounds like Lucky better be ready to turn it on........but he should be ready, unless Helu has just passed him by as a sophmore! You might have missed it, but just in case Lucky is the Big 12's leading returning rusher and the school-record holder with 75 receptions in a season. Yea but you're right. He really needs to turn it on.. don't be offering excuses for him! lucky should do more! like cure cancer! come up with a viable plan for peace in the middle east! capture osama bin laden and verify that the north koreans aren't making nuclear weapons. LUCKY NEEDS TO TURN IT ON! THE FATE OF EARTH DEPENDS ON IT! Quote Link to comment
Kruzu Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Well this is good to hear for all of us. Now Lucky can't just sit back and play good and get a starting spot. Now he has to play outstanding and play tough nosed football all the time or Helu is going to be right there. I will say that I hope Q gets his hands wrapped around the football this season. I have alot of hope for the guy due to his bruising running style and freakish physique! Man I hope Coach Beck has him doing some ball security drills or something, though. If he's third in the rotation or a situational back, I'd have to say that's the reason. Fum-dumbling the football all over the place pretty much makes everything else worthless. But I do love Q. Can't wait to see him smack some stupid safety around who thought he could play the run. Quote Link to comment
Igetbored216 Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 I think the "-or-" was used as a tool by the coaches to motivate Lucky. We will see if it works. Quote Link to comment

There is alot to say about keeping the rbs fresh and having a good running game to also keep the defense fresh, but I just hope the coaches give each individual rb that is sharing starting time plenty of snaps in PRACTICE. That is also very important. It is difficult to split time between the rbs because if they dont get plenty of snaps they arent going to be very expirienced and are going to be more prone to fumbling and making mistakes.

huzkerbob Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 Lucky said himself he wasn't going 100% All the time last year. If he's not ready to do that, then no school record will keep him on the field. Quote Link to comment
Touchdown Tommie Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 It is going to be nice to see how this will all unfold. I just hope they all keep their head up if things are not going their way. This is a not a bad thing to have this many guys on the depth chart....I think this staff will do a better job of betting the better players in no matter who they are. Quote Link to comment
