This is definitely true as well. We’re running a system that actually gives the RBs a chance to make a play. And they are taking advantage. Quote Link to comment
OmahaPlaya Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 Hopefully Coach Frost will make sure to not forget to recruit backs who are bulldozer up the middle guys and not just speedy shifters. Need a good mix of speed and power. Quote Link to comment

Pedro G Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 Oz is showing to be the complete back, a combination of size, speed quickness and power. He should be able to play on Sundays, and perhaps will be drafted within the first three rounds. Also I want to add that we may see Miles Jones in the last four games. I believe the coaching staff has had in mind of redshirting him. Quote Link to comment

Proved some of you wrong, proved others (me included) right. I've been on the Ziggy bandwagon since his Freshman year. Outside of Bryant's two stellar games, he's been our best back for a few years now.... 1 Quote Link to comment

He is more talented than Correll Buckhalter, who was drafted in the 4th round and contributed in the NFL. He had two seasons with 500-plus yards and one with 600-plus yards. Edit: I’m referring to Oz. I think his best football may still be ahead of him. Quote Link to comment

It is certainly true the system helps give opportunities. But when talking about Ozigbo, specifically, it's equally important to realize he has no choice in whom the coach is or what system they run. He easily, and understandably, could have been the guy that transferred based on fit. He didn't. He made a very noticeable effort to better fit this scheme. He wasn't the only scholarship back returning this year, but he's the one we are talking about, and he deserves the accolades for putting himself in this conversation. 2 Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Washington actually graded out better according to Pro Football Focus. Higher yards after contact, good blocking grade. Had six runs longer than 10 yards while Ozigbo had three Quote Link to comment
