[OrangeShogun]

Anyone have the latest status report on Ewers and DeAndre Moore?

Anyone have the latest status report on Ewers and DeAndre Moore?

I believe the official reports have to be released on Thursday.

 

[NRHorn]

Both Questionable- id be surprised if either plays vs MS ST.

[NRHorn]

Friday update….
* Wiliams hamstring is now out
*Wiesner for Questionable to Probable.
*Page is out with a sprained ankle
*McDonald has a hamstring issue
*Moore hip pointer
Good news is Page and Gardner should be good for OU

Like all of us, don’t like injuries for any team, but OU RECEIVERS and DB are in really bad shape.

 

[WorsterMan]

GREAT to see Wisner and Sorrell now listed as probable.... I would like to see Ewers rest another game.

 

[Horn6721]

Why are so many RBs out?

 

[txhorn_et]

Agree 100%. I’d probably rest them all and be ready to steamroll the okies.

So like, who's our running back?

Blue, and then some walk-on from Lampasas or something...?

"Aiden, Cayden, Brayden, Jayden, and Grayden, get warmed up. Here's your big shot to tote the pigskin for the Texas Longhorns in a real game."

You have any eligibility left?

You have any eligibility left?

I have four full years of eligibility, but I can't run fast enough to scatter my own $**t. So there's that.

 

[Walking Boss]

I have eligibility, but I'm on the slow fat guy list.

Wonder if Red has had second thoughts about hitting the portal?

but OU RECEIVERS and DB are in really bad shape.

WR's, plus ou Offense was already sucking big time (did you see their pathetic last 2 games?) ...... Horns DB's licking their chops!

If the ou DB's are still a patchwork in 2 weeks, Ewers / Manning / Receivers will carve them up like a Christmas turkey!!

Blue & You Chop! Just remember even holes are on right side!! Get a hunderd Chop!

Reminds me of the old days with Ham, Lam & Jam.

No disrespect or offence to anyone, but we might as well sling it 100x with maybe 5 runs to keep em honest.

I'm not sure I could even do that, Sabre.

Ryan Niblett is nibbling at the heels of Blue for playing time.

 

[Dionysus]

Just begging for an Achilles injury ain't it, smh

 

[Chop]

There's our 2nd teamer for this weekend.

So maybe we don't trot out our walk-on bros like Blake, Drake & Jake, or Aiden, Caden, Jayden, Grayden, and Brayden until the 4th Quarter.

 

[Chop]

Aha!

Forgot about Gibson.

10 carries for 67 yards
6.7 ypc against Colorado State.

10 carries for 36 yards against Michigan

True Freshman

All-American in high school at IMG Academy in Florida.

Young but good.

#9 Jerrick Gibson

Reid Watkins--true Freshman from Ft Worth All Saints School, and baseball player Nik Sanders are now our 4th and 5th team RBs (in no particular order).

 

[Horn6721]

So we have talent,unproven but talent
Perfect game to get them acclimated.

Gibson is an evolving force. He’ll be a good one.

I’d like to know more about Nik Sanders. I know that he moved over from baseball in July. He has the size. Has he even seen the field.

Finally, to state the obvious, Sark runs a pro style offense that typically does not feature the kinds of backs we usually look for at Texas. Seems like Blue and Wisner are prototypical for his offense.

 

[HalRex]

I think this is the order:
1. Blue
2. Wisner
3. Gibson
4. Niblett

 

[Horn6721]

Duke
Great analysis
And thank you for pointing out Sark's offense does not rely on running game. It helped my concern over lack of RBs.
Still.it would be helpful to have some good backs....to keep Ds on toes

Ryan is a junkyard dog!

Yes you forgot about Baby Rhino who’s been stampeding through defenses. He and Blue and Wisner and Niblet have done a good job, IMHO.
