LoyalZIP Posted December 9, 2022 Report Share Posted December 9, 2022 56 minutes ago, AKSportsFan said: Many were high on Norrils but he never played. Was there off-field issues? Clearly wasn't a top back? Coaches want "their guys" getting PT? at 500 ards on the season we didn't have our star running back. Surprised he didn't get game reps with the lack of production with Wiley and Price If I had to guess, this is a good example of the Arth Talent Gap at work. Norrils was much better in a far worse RB room. Same reason Anthony Williams barely saw the field either at RB or WR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoZips4824 Posted April 26, 2023 Report Share Posted April 26, 2023 Well I am once again sad to say I am the bearer of bad news, but it is believed that Clyde Price has torn his ACL. It has not been confirmed as he still needs more imaging but it is said to be around a 95% chance that he tore it. Was a contact injury, not much you can do there and definitely a big blow to the team. But with that being said if there was any room to have a season ending injury it would be the RBs. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree. I think the only room that would be hurt more with the loss of a single player would be the qb room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catdaddyp Posted May 4, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2023 Bump for update. I’m excited about this group. Curious to see if we add another back due to Price’s injury. Here is some film on Anderson when Arizona played Oregon in 2021. Highlights are: 5:09 7:21 7:39 10:15 10:31 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A review of the current MAC football rosters suggests the coaches at NIU and Kent are most likely to share your opinion.

Team # of RBs on roster Ohio 8 Miami 8 Ball 7 BGSU 7 CMU 7 Toledo 7 Buffalo 6 EMU 6 WMU 5 NIU 4 Kent 3 I’m not sure how many of those are on scholarship. Most FBS schools carry 4-5 scholarship RBs. 6 is usually the max unless the school has a run heavy offense. I think we were at 5 last year (A. Williams moved to WR), but then bumped to 6 once Hester was put on scholarship. Kent is currently slotted to bring in 4 more RBs - 2 freshmen and 2 transfers. Although I’m not sure what kind of offense they will run or if they plan to keep all of those guys at RB. Or if they are all on scholarship. Burns was a RB himself and also coached RBs for a large portion of his coaching career, so maybe he prefers more? NIU added a RB from the portal, so that should put them at 5. (Somewhat interesting note) Flowers, the incoming NIU RB, played at Irmo HS in South Carolina. Irmo HS is Dutch Fork HS rival where our own DiMarco Johnson played.

Zipmeister Posted May 6, 2023 Report Share Posted May 6, 2023 (edited) See below for more programs with scads of RBs. What’s my point? The Zips current roster includes a dangerously low number of RBs. Few, or no, teams make it through a season without getting a couple, or more, RBs at least dinged up. Team # of RBs on roster Nebraska 11 Michigan 10 Columbus Tech 8 Michigan St. 7 Indiana 7 Wisconsin 6 Iowa 6 Minnesota 6 Northwestern 6 Purdue 6 Maryland 6 Rutgers 6 Illinois 5 Penn St. 5 Edited May 6, 2023 by Zipmeister .

All 5 of Illinois’ current RBs are on scholarship, but Bielema will probably add one or two more walk-ons to the position. He is a big proponent of walk-ons as he was originally one himself and in essence uses walk-ons as a way to fill in for the inevitable misses in recruiting. I know they aren’t mentioned here, but South Carolina currently has 3 scholarship RBs (one of them was transitioned from WR in the spring) and 5 walk-on RBs. However, they have an incoming freshman RB and will take another portal RB to get to the 5 scholarship RBs that Beamer prefers. I can’t speak to any of the other teams on this list as I haven’t followed them as closely, this offseason, as Illinois and Carolina.
