Football question

Coaching isn’t in a vacuum. HE PUNCHED A COACH.

if someone punched your mom or significant other… you letting them chill for 2 more years at your house?

would you let them finish out the year?

The fact that he played after the incident shows it wasn’t serious. Venables doesn’t mess around. See Gundy. If it was serious, then he would have been off the team.

I’m just saying he was a reliable back. It would be nice to have another one of those in lieu of Tatum, Barnes and Ott being complete unreliable. I think it points to how mismanaged the RB room has been in the last few years.

Didn't he still play at OU after punching a coach? If it was that big of a deal, he wouldn't have played another snap at OU after that incident.

I'm guessing he has just been chasing money

That's a good point, don't know how you keep a guy on the team after that.

Not same, better. But even if it were same, 2 > 1. Regardless he was a problem off of the field.

There are a lot of other former ou rb's leading their teams too tho. Makes you wonder about Demarco. Also, his rotations are terrible and we haven't had a 1,000 yard back since Eric gray and Kennedy Brooks (his only good RBs too...).

If XRob can stay healthy and dmo (maybe more arbuckle) hasn't already pissed him off because of his lack of use, then we might finally see some life at the RB position again

It would be nice to have smothers right now

NO CHANCE

Pretty sure it was pushed, not punched.

RB will be interesting this weekend. Robinson and blaylock not practicing?? But not listed on injury report. I have a hard time seeing Ott play with all that’s happened but desperate times call for desperate measures. And Tatum? Who knows.

Never a dull moment.

They should try Hawk in the backfield. He isn’t an SEC quarterback, maybe he could help us at a position that fits his skill set. I’m only partially kidding.

Running the football is one of the easiest possible things for a true freshman to step in and do without any reps. We've seen it many times over the years. If needed, I wouldn't completely shocked if a guy with virtually no reps this year like Tatum or Sawchuk had a solid day on the ground (if there's anywhere to run). My bigger fear is things like pass pro. Whiffing on a blitz or two could be the difference in the game for Mateer.

This is definitely a scary game
