Is ahmed the only "person of colour" on the team next year?
Be chintresting to see if he breaks out next year. So far, he is no Gaskin. Gaskin is just so fucking tough, so fucking clutch, so fucking balls. The terrorist typically goes down on first contact. Don't know his stats, but I'd guess this was a disappointing season for him.
Next year will be Lake and Petes toughest year. No Gaines No BBK No Rapp No Miller. Noone is filling their shoes in 2019.
it's year 6. none of those players are all world and the program should be at a point where they can replace those players.
If they can't that's a problem
Taylor and molden are already as good as the people in front of them (miller and Bryant) and have split time with them. Losing rapp culture and Gaines will hurt. Our lb depth is gross but I would hope sirmon is close to being able to get significant pt.
Defense wil be good next year because they won't blow many assignments which is good enough to hold most teams below their avg. they will take some lumps early though.
He doesn't have the vision of a tradition between the tackles running back. On sweeps, toss plays and screens he's been incredibly useful. A good offensive coordinator finds a way to utilize his skillset to maximize his value.
Just because he doesn't have all the tools of a traditional every down back doesn't mean he sucks.
Ackbar is not very good. One of those dudes that's fast but not a great RB
he's a sophomore. he can get better.
He sucks until he doesn't. Right now, he sucks.
Yep. A career ypc of 6.2 is terrible.
To be fair a good chunk of his yards come off of a reverse where the defense is keying on gaskin. His ypc without those plays would drop significantly. He is not a good running back currently but is a great athlete. Hope he gets better because pleasant and McGrew are not going to scare any dc's.

that's got to be a loaded average. he's reeled off some big runs, and he's probably feasted on some pastry Ds. when I watch him, he doesn't seem to have Gaskin's vision, and he sure as hell isn't a tough as Gaskin after contact. Gaskin makes 4 to 6 yd. runs on plays where the O line has been beaten. I've never seen the terrorist break a fucking tackle. Sure, if the lane is there and he sees it, he's fast and has balance and all that. But .... like I said, it'll be chintresting to see what he does next year when Myles isn't around and everybody actually cares about his performance. He's gotten a huge pass by the fanbase thus far because MMFG.
