Great nine-hole track in BV for sure, as well as the new Eddyline Brewery "down by the river."
Apparently.
Oregon doesn’t worry about trying to keep backs around for 5 years.
Limar is going to play more in that offense because he’s probably better as a receiving option and the Ducks use their RBs quite a bit in the passing game . Rhule wants a good downhill guy on the roster and only Ervin fit that bill before the weekend.
Oregon has been recruiting backs to their style of play for years and have as good a stable for what they like to do as NU had during the Pelini years.
A very odd move. Transferring to Oregon sounds nice and all, but they are still going to be loaded at the position.
True, but I've got to say that Little Emmitt Johnson was impressive toward the end of last season. He's above average at vision, reading blocks, and just angling through holes without defenders being able to get a hand on him. We didn't see a lot of it, but I think he could be pretty special catching passes out of the backfield. He's got a burst too. But that said, hit him square and he's going backward. Get a hand on him and he's going down. So we needed someone else. Ramir and Ervin so far have been an injury waiting to happen.
I think Rhule likes Rahmir as a third down guy. He trusts his pass blocking and pass catching ability. EJ is in the rotation. Gabe will be competing with Dowdell as the primary big back.
Do you see a role for Ives this year or in the future? EJ and DD have three years of eligibility left. Ervin may also if he's granted a medical redshirt.
idk. I would think he would have gotten more opportunities this year when Grant was in the doghouse and NU was rolling with EJ and Fleeks.
