I am I Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 My old college coach always said, “you’re either helping us win games or you’re not.” that might mean making a tackle behind the 20 on a kickoff. Or reaching your hand up to bat the ball down on a 3rd and long pass. Or being really hype and having a great attitude on the bench. Or practicing really hard against the starters so they can have a good look, even tho you won’t play. So, as I see it, Bell didn’t help us win games. Anyway, the 7.1 ypc is unreal. Harkens back to the Rozier, Brown, Rathman, LP, and Green, days of yore. Frost might not “run” what we were always used to but he does f’ing run it. And they run it well. Great job and congrats Devine Quote Link to comment

I know Ozigbo got the starting spot and then he left, but that doesn't mean he wouldn't have still been in the rotation, and maybe Ozigbo wouldn't have had his long runs. I’m not suggesting that Bell would have done anything more this year. But I wondered if he would have given it this season. Maybe even redshirt. He might have seen the offense progress in the manner it did for Ozigbo and he would have had a better 2nd year here. Quote Link to comment

I think he bailed too soon for no reason. Quote Link to comment

I think it’s pretty clear that he had the physical talent to be very good, but not willing to do what it takes to be as successful as Ziggy. When you you don’t have the mental toughness.....you quit.
