One Player from the Riley Disaster

[Xmas32]

Surprised no one has said Ozigbo.  Another year in Frost's system and I think he could match Royce Freeman's SR year numbers (1500 yards, 16 TDs).

If it's someone who didn't play for Frost either DPE or Gates would be really interesting.

For defense I'm going to go off the beaten path and say either Dedrick Young or Michael Rose-Ivey.

Hip hip hooray! 

Hip hip hooray! 

As quirky as it was, I enjoyed seeing him do it. Maybe it was just good to win.

The person who would have benefitted the most with Frost was Parella. He’s a good coach that was surrounded by complete ineptitude.

Gifford, DPE, Morgan, Gerry, Collins are all good answers and they're at positions of need. I'd add Westerkamp to that list. But I'd like to have seen what Tommy Armstrong could have done in Frost's offense.

 

[I AM FOOT FOOT]

My favorite play from the Riley era is when Moos fired him.that was sweeeeeet

 

[WyoHusker56]

My bad on the thread title it was supposed to be "player." Also, apologies for bringing up he who must not be named again, ha!

As punishment, you can only have vanilla ice cream today with the red sprinkles, and you have to promise to never do it again.

I think I would have liked to see the combo of Greg McMullen, Vincent Valentine, and Maliek Collins in this 3-4.  That's more than 1 player but I think you have to have all 3 in this case.

Puke and puke.

I suspect he would've been buried on the depth chart. Verduzco wouldn't let him get away with being as bad of a passer as he was.

I accept the punishment and promise I'll never do it again.

Janovich's long TD run on the full back trap against Wisconsin. Pretty amazing moment to be in the stands for.

And in true Mike Riley disaster form, we then blow the game. 

 

[Warrior]

He wanted it.

He wouldn't have the injury issue with the current strength staff IMO

Wasn't that just a freak accident?

The injury was a total freak accident.  I don't think anything could have been done to avoid the injury.  His rehab might have been helped with the current strength staff, but that's pure speculation on my part.  Different guys will heal and rehab differently.

I definitely think this current staff wouldn't have done any worse with his rehab.  But I agree with you that I don't see how something like what happened to him was preventable.
