Hitting holes quickly is far more important important than "muscling through" on

inside runs.

There are 2 parts to that. First is seeing the hole (which is often the more difficult). The second is getting through it before it closes. Davis clearly has the acceleration part down, and he looked promising at the first part.

Is anyone else worried if Davis becomes the guy at RB?

Even Tyler couldn't rush against the Baylor defense

TNT

and Davis runs more like TA than either Brooks or Katoa

Why?

Listed as 6’2”, 210. Seems big enough be able to “muscle” his way through.

Might even be able to add 10lbs or so and keep his speed.

Do you really think he's 6'2"? On TV he looks more like a 6'0", but there's no

And you really would have us believe you can tell height within an inch

Of course, I'm the best armchair quarterback there is.

True he seems really small and slow

We still have other RBs

Dude is a freshman that has played one real game. We should worry about nothing

But its his third year as a freshman.

He's shown these same flahes the last two years. Although listed as a freshman

His stats for rushing, before yesterday, were …

Dan

9/26/22 12:29am

That's not true. You take out the 70 yard run and he was still averaging over

I don't think you can say Wyoming's rush defense is awful.

So long as his first name is Effective, I couldn't care less what RB tribe

Does he swear?? If so, maybe we should reconsider playing him . . .

Yes we need Hinckley Ropati to play

Dude is a Freshman. I am sure he will get bigger. Yes that won’t help this year.

I am happy to see one RB be productive

BYU has already shown it’s likely to have trouble running against P5 teams

9/26/22 5:48am

Sheesh dude. So that's your reaction to a player's breakout

IceBlue

You don’t have to be NFL caliber to be RB1. You just have to perform better…

Jarhead

The guy is still pretty new to the position.. give him a chance

Can’t be worse than what we got.

Have you been impressed with anyone's ability to muscle it through?

ochobeeguy

9/26/22 7:35am

I’m more worried about his pass blocking for now

spinner

9/26/22 8:09am

Gives us speed on the outside…..we need that

Chicago Cougar

He broke some tackles, didn't go down easily

What an odd take

Gorum the Old

And Lopini and Brooks don't muscle through tackles either.

Forzaitalia

9/26/22 10:57am

No, not worried.

cougERdoc

9/26/22 9:21am

I think he could be used differently. I also don't think he is an every down

SnickSnack

9/26/22 10:06am

I’d be more worried if the guy who is going to be passed the torch got no reps

deliciousmocha

9/26/22 10:22am

Yep just give it to Wake and Heimuli
