Tre Bryant

It was only 34-26 at the end of the 3rd, and it took until about the 12 minute mark of the fourth to extend that lead to 41. Could you have sat Tre after that point when ASU kicked a field goal and Nebraska took over with about nine minutes left? Sure. But, that's a much easier decision to make in retrospect, and as it turned out, ASU was very much not under control.

All I'm saying is I don't think it was a very black and white situation.

The game felt completely in control at that point, I remember. All I'm saying is given all the info from Riley's presser Monday, and the feel of the game, it's just a stupid choice to use Tre that much in game one with out a consistent rotation, or a plan to pull him around 20 carries.

I rewatched the fist quarter and a half of Oregon, and notice he was slow to get up on a play and favoring his knee for a second, well before he was hurt in the second half.  I'm really curious what his issue is that they are comfortable playing him hard, but not addressing it through limiting reps, or fixing it in the offseason.

 
Thanks to Texas A&M, I only view a game as 'under control' if we're ahead by 56 points.  :lol:

I'm kidding, sort of. I do think it's fair to have concerns as a fan about his workload, don't get me wrong. I'm just on the side of deferring to the coaches' judgement. I don't think they're infallible by any means, but they've got access to more info. than we do.

The n was supposed to be a comma, I didn't hold the button long enougho my phone. And I'm talking about the first game.

In a game against Arky st? I think the backups could definitely use the reps to improve those skills.

But if Ark St. comes back and wins that game... Everyone on this forum would be all over the coaches for making the decision to sit Bryant... "Really, we take out our best player for the 4th quarter and lose the game? Smart HCMR!!"

In each game the coaching staff has to go in with the approach "How do I win this game?"

One at a time guys....

 
My fingers are crossed that Bryant has a minimal or non existent workload due to a Nebraska blowout on Saturday.  I wish Wilbon didn't struggle so much in pass pro so that he could get a few series in a row and get lathered up so to speak and into a bit of a rhythm.  I guess we'll find out on Saturday.  That being said, hypothetical line for Bradley carries at 4.5 over or under?  I think it's over personally...

Not that hard to send him back into the game....

 
Can't wait to hear the bitching about how we misused Wilbon.

Or how Bradley didn't play enough

Or how one of the Walk ons should have got carries because how good he did in the spring game
