He’s the one showing leadership, per Coach Sark.. I’d say give him a chance.. He and Bijan both in the backfield would be scary for anyone to defend. I bet the kid can throw, too.. Toughest player we have!
Well despite 1 bad decision Casey put up Colt like numbers today. And he was good when he was healthy despite no protection. Hudson showed signs of reading the defense against WV. I'm not as worried about QB as I was a couple of weeks ago. All due respect to Roschon, dude always gives 100% and is no doubt a leader, but he's never thrown a real pass.
Yeah I don't get putting a former QB in the Wildcat and not letting him throw even once this year until today. Heck, he never even handed off. SMH.
He threw 1 jet sweep technically-a-pass pass. He faked the zone read and dropped back to throw once too, but nobody was open, so he took off and ran. He did hand off to Keilan a couple of times this game too - which I don't think he'd done from the wildcat this year before. Also handed off to Worthy on the trick play where Worthy threw downfield to Washington and we got the DPI.
RJ: an absolute BEAST TODAY running the ball. Point is he is a passionate leader, aggressive, hard hitting back that wants to win and is MONEY! Kid is a Jr. Telegram to Sark: FIND MORE WAYS TO GET HIM THE BALL IN YOUR OFFENSE IN 2022. Think about it. Sark has some incredible SKILL chess pieces on O next fall: Off top of my head: Roschon, Bijian, J Whitt, Worthy.... I will include a healthy Casey Thompson. If he can patch together an OL that blocked like they mostly did today....the O could be REALLY good next fall.
Roschon is a great young man, who hates to lose. He has been our only leader all year. Make no mistake about it, he is smart, but also possesses great football smarts.
I just want to hear something similar to "Vince Young Scores"... winning the NC, one more time before I reach room temperature!
That’s not a bad idea. IF the identity of our offense is based on our strengths - we will have the best running back room in the country next season - instead of commitment to Sark’s “system.” I remember after losing to Alabama Mack wanted to go to a power running system but he didn’t have the personnel. Now we do. Question is can we win consistently and become a legitimate national power without an effective vertical attack or will we just be like Navy or Wofford? I trust Sark.
Did he? I must have missed that. I remember thinking this when Fozzie ran it and now again with Roschon: "the one drawback with the Wildcat is you're asking an RB to hand the ball to someone else. It ain't happening unless the coach demands that he do it." Every RB that runs a wildcat believes that he is the guy who needs the ball in his hands on that particular play. And a lot of times he's right. I guess if your RB isn't practiced running zone read, you pretty much have to call the keep or the give form the sidelines. But I would like to see us hand it off a few more times out of that formation, because 9 of 10 times, RJ's keeping that ball.
