this bored needs to apologize to

The stats are funny. Sure 4.7 ypc, but how many times this year did we have 4th and 1, and could not do it?

That’s a fair point. Our short yardage running was pretty crap for sure. Stats don’t always tell the whole story, but to say this is the worst group in the last 20 years just simply isn’t accurate.

Huge overcorrection to an ok game by an ok RB

 

[LebamDawg]

for all the shit I complain about on defense I am shocked after seeing this



We? are third in the PAC12

Listened to the rb coach on sports radio a couple of weeks ago and he raved about Talapaupa and said he would take Wayne over ANY back in college football. Intangibles etc.

It was a nice thing to say, but come on now. His steady presence was probably his best asset. Maybe not fumbling much at all.

I’d argue his fumble in the end zone against UCLA cost is the game

I’d say, with Penix, they ran the ball the right amount of the tim.

AGREE

I think both can be true, this could be the worst personnel grouping we've had in 20 years, but not the worst production.

Papa is okay to have on the roster but not anyone that should get consistent run. He was the most consistent of the bunch but horrible in short yardage. That TD catch vs MSU made me hard though.

 

[WilburHooksHands]

best JAG ever imo

 

[chuck]

I don't feel at all bad for anything I've said about him. He had crucial drops, a crucial fumble, and danced his way to failure on multiple short yardage plays early on.

He took advantage of some gaping holes and made them pay and made that sweet td catch. There's a reason Davis had 13 rushing TDs and took over as rb1 in the red zone after the first few games though.

I get the emotional stuff, the fact he's a senior and one year guy who won hearts and minds and all that. Awesome. He's still the rb I've described him as.

The problem with yards/game is that the more drives, etc the more yards you'll end up having. Strangely enough when looking at yards/play we edge into second...

I forgot he had the critical fumble against UCLA

I retract some of this poast

 

[MikeDamone]

The bored trashed him to prop up your boy Huff. Davis played great too down the stretch

Amazing how when everyone does their job everyone looks good. This team kept improving and played their best ball in November which is a sign of a good head coach

Weird season. No one wanted to believe until it is over. Now I want more

You'll get more next year, right?

Impossible. Coug had the best allegedly.

If you look at Papa and this collection of running backs, it was probably the least productive group since 2002.

I dunno about that. If you look at the stats, we averaged 4.7 ypc as a team for the year. Papa averaged 6.2 with 10 TDs and Davis averaged 4.9 with 13TDs. The worst RB who saw non garbage time minutes was Nixon at 4.2. If Grubb didn’t hate the run so much, Papa is probably over 1000 and Davis isn’t far behind. Granted, the string of running backs we had in the time frame you mentioned is pretty crazy. Rankin, Polk, Sankey, Gaskin, Coleman, Ahmed. I’m probably forgetting someone too[/b]. This group is way better than the shit we ran out there last two years. 08 was obviously terrible, as were a couple other teams post Neuhiesel. I’ve been critical of the run game this year, but this group is probably 13th-14th if you stack it up against the RB groups the last 20 years, and we had some fucking legends on almost a yearly basis starting with Polk in 09.

I never thought I'd love a UW RB as much as I loved Polk. I had a well documented man crush on him that you can read about in Derek's technically gifted writing book Rooting From Afar. And then Sankey shows up and while he didn't impede on my borderline homoerotic love for Polk, he came close. And then along comes MMFG and I'm fucking spoiled by 3 great RBs in a row at UW.
