Straight from the Cleveland Caravan. A Coach Solich paraphrase by me: a wealth of talent at running back and they are going to try to get the more talented players, ie running backs on the field together.

No mention of two back set but since White is the most likely threat to be split, than where would the other two go? Or would getting the talent on the field together simply mean White and ONE of the others?

I am feeling the truck driver. I watch Faux News every day.

i'm a hometown (vancouver, BC, canada) fan of maleek's... i don't know him but i have seen him play.

i may have been the 1st person to hint of this.......... just seems natural when you don't get much scholarship interest because of a structural factor (playing in canada). maybe a pac-12 team sees highlights of that one beast run last year. surely the kid could help oregon state. i know there was some interest from wsu but that's a passing offense... also wonder if maleek had grade issues.

a precedent to this is jonathan kabongo (same general league as maleek... not sure that's his exact name)... not much interest out of high school. went to wyoming and i think red-shirted. transferred after 1 year to arizona western JC. was a beast for 1 year. then #1 JC recruit in country with i think offers from alabama and USC. chose tennessee.

so there really is an admin gap when someone can only get wyoming offer, redshirts a year there then does a year at JC and has alabama/USC offers (if not offers, they were actively recruiting him).

i agree that malik should keep quiet or perhaps do something like transfer (with proper advice)... but complaining and doing nothing (which i inferred that he did) is not good

edit: i should add that these kids who fall through an admin recruiting hole often won't have any geographic affinity for school they go to...... i remember a top canadian recruit who did have offers narrowed it down to 5 top 25 type schools from 5 different states and 5 different conferences. not sure i'd actually seen that before... and not sure why that canadian kid and others had awesome offers but kabongo/irons did not. might be position and/or amount of football played. i know kabongo was pretty raw.

There is no doubt where the strength of this offense is for the next few years. Frank loves a strong running game, thus is implementation of the 2 back sets for next year.
Now if the passing game can improve slightly and the injuries be held to a minimum we should have a great year.
The defense is already very good so I am looking forward to a better year than last.
Prediction calls for a 10 win season, trip to the MACC, and a trip to a better bowl game.
