That’s why you work every day in practice. Your turn may come. Luckiest thing that happened today was Tyler fumbling on 2nd play of game. Otherwise we would have seen a lot of no gains all day.

Not to belabor the point on Tyler, and I feel bad for the kid, but how did he go from competence in the MAC to complete ineffectiveness on THIS team, in which nearly every other RB is effective? What’s the hitch, here?

He's like 25 pounds lighter than our other backs

he doesn’t like dorm food? He needs an NIL deal to get all meals at McD’s?

OL wasnt giving Athan time in first half. Got pressure on almost every pass

I don’t know, it just showed on his 247 recruiting page, thst they offered him. He was also only 190 in HS.

They're all Pioneer League teams which is a non-scholarship league! I believe they get education scholarships only!

Nubin looked like a stud picking up blitzes as well as running the ball. That kid is good.

 

[WorkingMyTailOff]

Great effort and results by Oline and Nubin!
Still hoping they can figure out a way to get Tyler the ball in space (like they did on the play where he put his knee down but without doing that)

I have a question on that. Do you blame Tyler for going to his knees or AK for throwing it low? You'd think they practice reaching down to bring ball in but I think AK has some blame as well.

Gotta be on AK, no pressure there, dude is right in front of him and needs the ball to get going.


Tyler can’t just squat with his knees up to avoid them from being down. That’s a dangerous position. He shouldn’t expect to be going to the ground on that play.

My guess is Same reason why Herschel Walker wasn’t as effective with the Vikings. We don’t feature him at what he excels doing.

I personally would cut Tyler some slack. This team could use all the potential playmakers it can get. Maybe the coaches can think of him as Bucky Irving 2.0 , but I know Bucky could run between the tackles as well.

which is?
