Longest run of season for a Tn RB ?

[Mose Phillip's Watch]

Have we had one over 25 yet?

Btw I like our RBs just not breakaway speed

 

[BanditVol]

yes. There was a game with a run of 57. I think it might even have been bammer.

 

[mpfvol]

This team needs a T1 back they 2s right now . Not knocking them they are good but not next level good.

Yep.

Small had a 49 run against LSU and a 39 run against Gators. Wright had 35 run against UK and a 33 run against Ball St. Sampson a 45 run against UT-M

Nope

 

[BanditVol]

Nope

Yeah, it wasn't bammer and it was 49 as you point out.

OP...its not that hard to look this stuff up.

We havent had a Rb take one to the house yet. That’s what has been missing from this offense. They always seem to find the one guy between them and the endzone.

Can't let facts get in the way of some good ol fashioned negativity.

Small had a big one against LSU but tripped over one of the lines and shortened it by @ 20

 

[cwbytruckers]

Maybe we get another long run against Missouri like the one last season.

 

[perico]

Wright has breakaway speed and so does Sampson.

Wright just needs to take the ball with him

 

[tim]

We run and pass based on the box.

 

[posivol]

miss t. evans...guessing he would have takin at least 3 to the house by now

That one went for 25 but he tripped like you say

It’s been a while since we’ve had a back that could break one at any moment consistently. Evans could do it last year but that didn’t pan out.

 

[Smokey7]

Give me Jamal Lewis and Travis Henry..that's dangerous for any opponent.

 

[Smokey7]

Henry benched over 400 pounds! Absolute beast!

 

[ftsandersvol]

Sampson's just waiting his turn.

That’s the next evolution for this offense. I feel like we’ll have solid QB play just because of how much we spread the field and keep the defense on their toes. But we run more than we pass.

Our running game opens up the pass game because defenses will have to get a +1 advantage in the box which leaves our receivers with mismatches on the outside. Getting a great back also wears down the defense and when we aren’t in hurry up mode, it’ll allow us to put the game away much easier.

Don’t forget Wright is still a true sophomore. He’s not going to make as big of a jump this season to next as he did last offseason, but he likely still has room to grow. I think he has the potential to be a very, very good back, just a rung or two under the Gibbs’s and Corum’s of the college football world. He breaks more tackles and has better speed than Small. We need another one about his level or better from the portal and then still get Jabari 7-10 carries a game as well. Finally, if Sampson makes a big jump in mass/strength as well as understanding the offense, we’re suddenly in very good shape at RB. If a true freshman (Keith perhaps?) can contribute as well? Gravy.

That could also be a result of the defense having 6 DBs on the field also.

 

[BreatheUT]

The wide receiver was holding on that swing pass.

 

[BreatheUT]

Our defense has a way of making the other team have career days.
