So...

Our running game was better than "good" ?

Your comment was about Tre, not our running game. And he looked the part.

I guess I just don't get people like you who feel compelled to take one of the highlights of the night, a guy who churned out 192 yards with tough running all night, good vision and cuts, and when someone says he's our starting back, you feel compelled to say "meh."

If you wanna contradict someone's post tonight, I would expect it in any of the defensive threads on the board right now. But the sole thread about the starting running back and you downplay it?

Yeah, I don't really get it.

SC running around calling people names and talking about sucking fat rods.
He should be embarrassed.

Message boards are one of many things that don't mix well with alcohol

 

[BroskiRed]

I disagree.
What it wrong man?
Make you feel good to disparage?

Back to the conversation about Bryant, and Damon Benning posted a note on Twitter that Tre looked "labored" running the ball. I think that's about right, he's missing a gear, looking more Corey Clement 2016 than Ameer Abdullah to me.
I thought Tre had some explosiveness to his game, some game breaker to his game. But it wasn't there tonight...can it get back or is he a different running back now because of chronic injury? Not dogging his effort, I am a fan and I think he's probably our best runner between the tackles.
This offense doesn't need him to be a game breaker to be effective but I hope he can get the juice back in his legs that I saw as a freshman
What do you think C2O?

He had a hitch late, but most of that was a load he had never taken imo. He's never a guy that'll break free for 70 on the regular, but he is someone who finds holes quick, and can carry a load for the most part. He played consistently like a great back, and has showed that ability in the past.

Not sure what most of you saw on TV but I watched dead center at the 50, had a great view. Saw nothing special. The O-line actually gave him a ton of opportunities to break big runs. He had a ton of one on one match-ups tonight where a great back with a little wiggle or power breaks for big runs. He's ok. But by no means, great

I like what I have seen.
Tre appears to have 4 gears and seems to know how to use them.
Great RB's need to be able to shift gears.
He stays back when he should and hits the hole hard.
Does he have a 4th gear?
I think he does.

 

[c2o]

He got a little wiggle too.

 

[daddy mack]

This, he has great vision, although I'd say the same about Wilbon, they both are a big step above Newby.

You will be embarrassed tomorrow.

Wait what happens what happens to the Thread about Tre Bryant. Someone please hit a reset. Oops I guess that may of been the wrong word.

 

[nelsonj22]

Tre was obviously the lead dog from the gameplan, but he hardly shined. He's a good, but never great RB.

Yep shitty performance. True soph rb in his first start

Are all the ppl on the free board idiots?

Did you not read the opposite views of this?

 

[dinglefritz]

I was hoping they would give some carries to Devine. Bryant was limping noticeably at times and I'm concerned he'll be slowed for Oregon. I'm wondering if Devine is healthy.

I was high on Tre Bryant after last year, but last night he wasn't real impressive. He had several opportunities where he just had to get past one guy for a huge play and he couldn't do it. Great running backs make those plays. He seemed hesitant a lot, maybe due to his injury? I felt like he ran with more authority last year.

He broke out of many short gains, found the hole quickly also. I dont think he was breaking secondary tackles because that amount of work load was something new.

I don't understand how he wasn't impressive.

He was so pedestrian last night, I could have broken 200 yards rushing...

Dan Alexander could have even broken those tackles.

For weeks all the conversation was about not wanting a RB by committee approach because a guy cant get in a groove if he is in and out. Then you get what you want and people are complaining that he was worked too much.

A guy goes for 192 on 31 carries averaging 6 yards per touch and its not good enough for some.

Damn fellas (and Tom) the offense wasn't the issue last night. Complain about the defense all you want, its warranted but the offense put up 463 yards on 70 plays for 6.61 yards per play, allowing 1 sack and zero turnovers. That's a full 1.5 yard per play better than they averaged last year.

Exactly! Our offense was productive even splitting TOP with ASU. If the defense did their jobs which would've allowed more TOP to Nebraska then the offense could've dumped more on their defense.

Defense was the only damn problem last night..

Exactly, if Tre walked on water they'd bitch that he can't swim? I thought his vision and timing were outstanding.
Offense for a new starting QB and RB was very good imo
