Tracking games played by the true freshmen

[cycfan1]

I believe four running backs will play especially as nagging injuries develop. Who does everyone think they should be?

I think its been assumed Brock is the odd man out... but seems like its been Croney.

Its certainly Langs job for the taking right now.
Kene was our best threat pre-injury.
Hall has played 4 already so hes in the hunt.
Question is / is wasting a year of Brock vs Croney an upgrade for your 4th RB?

I'm not seeing anything after Baylor. Hmmm

Because I don’t know how to do a screen shot on my phone.

When your running backs have been struggling and you are trying to find "the guy" why would you worry about trying to redshirt one of the contenders?

DJ Miller won’t redshirt either, they’ll continue to put him in place of Eisworth here and there.

It's not so much that as it is wasting a game for Hall and/or Brock just for them to get a carry or two. If you're going to burn a redshirt then put them on the field more. I think it would be a mistake to not redshirt one of these kids.

But they would still be able to redshirt if injured like kene. Running back seem to do okay as freshmen but do get banged up more

I agree, but I still don't see why you would burn a redshirt for both kids. Especially if they're not seeing the field for more than a few snaps per game.

How do you know they’re only going to get “a carry or two”? Do you have a crystal ball? We’ve only played five games,

I meant so far. Brock played 1 or 2 snaps against Baylor and didn't get a touch. That is a waste.

Updated

Add Hall and Miller to the list of freshmen that can no longer redshirt. Brock not playing today tells me he will most likely redshirt but will play in one more game at some point.

I'm a little surprised Easton Dean was talked about so much preseason for practicing with tight ends and hasn't seen the field at all. Campbell must just love guys that can play more than one position if need be so he started training him early.

Not surprised about this at all. Why play Dean when we have 3 studs at TE?

I could see him playing later in the year if we're way ahead of someone, just to get him a little experience.

Sort of my point, why practice with TE's at all if he isn't going to see the field anyway? I must be thinking 1 move ahead and Campbell is thinking 5. It's why I always lose at chess.

Easton dean isn't going to see much if any playing time this year due to us having possibly the best 3 tes in the same year.

The position has some unique skill sets for ISU and they're not Gronk but I don't see the type of athleticism at the position for a lot of other teams especially spread across 3 guys.

I guess I just don't see your point? Easton Dean likely was not going to see the field this year no matter what position he was at.

I just think the staff feels like in the future we're going to be completely loaded at QB with Dekkers and Bouman coming in next season, and Dean has the size you'd like at TE, and the TE position will be wide open in a couple years.

I know exactly what you meant. And it's only a "waste" if he doesn't play more substantially as the season progresses. If he does, it's irrelevant.

As I recall, Brock Purdy got into one game prior to OSU last year, and didn't throw a single pass. By your definition, that was a "waste" as well.

The "talked about" included coaches comparing him to the current upperclassmen--with the specific mention that he's not 250 bs, like those guys are. I think 220 or 230 right now. That's why he hasn't seen the field this season.

In case of total disaster, I'm pretty sure Easton is still the 4th string quarterback this season. All things considered, I'd rather avoid "total disaster", thank you very much.

Maybe CMC is just thinking the kid can excel at the TE position, so that is where he put him. There are 3 very good TEs on the team and none are seniors, but two are juniors, and one might draw interest from the NFL by the end of the year. Might just be trying to build depth for the future. If ISU gets way ahead in a game later on, he may still get it. ISU has won the last two games by a nice amounts, but a lot of the scoring was in the 4th quarter, so it wasn't a situation where you clear the bench.
