Well he wants to play, and could very well be the best runner we have, but pass pro is the only real important skill for this offense, so we get Newby and a sucky ground game instead.
Kid should go where he can get real playing time with a team that actually runs the ball. I can't fault him for that.

Agree with this completely. If pass protection is such a mess, then the coaches need to examine how they are teaching and why none of the other backs seem to be picking it up. You can't tell me we don't have talented enough athletes back there. 9 games in man. Give someone else a shot. This guy could be a huge piece of our offense over the next few years.
At this point I don't care what the name on the back of the jersey is. You're either all N, or you need to move on. I hope he's all N.
What the hell are you talking about?
We have played Newby, Cross, Oz, and Jano at RB. Taylor is done. Wilbon is sitting for off-the-field issues.
Newby is our best all-around back so he is getting the most repetitions.
Then I can see why JS is frustrated. 3 backs and a FB and no one can get anything going. I'd be frustrated if I were the kid too, especially if I was confident in my abilities to contribute. I know there are issues at OL. I'm not at practice so I don't see RBs getting reps. Taylor didn't look done in the spring game IMO, and I have no idea what Wilbon did. Excited about the future of this team. And want this kid to be a part of it.
I agree a little bit, but the kid has acted like a spoiled child since he got here. Hell yes he has talent, but good lord. Ultimatums, and all of the other baggage is annoying. He has a grand opportunity to be the guy next year if he works hard, and learns the system this year, but instead of hardwork and dedication, he wants something given to him and is bouncing (allegedly). If you N, be all N. If not... SEE YA>

Next man up. Could be interesting off season if Taylor, Wilbon, and Stevenson all depart after the season.
If the kid is another Pelini cancer then he should move on.
When I saw that he wanted to burn his redshirt 6 games into the season, I suspected that Wisconsin's admissions department was probably accurate in their assessment of this kid's intelligence. Sorry to say that, but he just doesn't seem to be playing with a full deck of cards upstairs.
I wish him the best, but I suspect he'll run into drama wherever he goes due to his attitude. Also just saw that Finnin has left the team, as well.
Its a bloner attempt at humor. First miss by Riley. He needs about 50 more to get on Blos level.Pelini cancer? He was a late add by Riley.

Forgot he was a late add. The KO returns improved last week with his demotion/sickness. This kind of stuff can happen when someone joins as late as he did and arrived out of shape.Pelini cancer? He was a late add by Riley.

If pass pro is so darn important and the OC could care less about running the ball put a freaking linemen back there.
Yes this is a stupid comment and it's to prove a point about our OC.
