Since KU has been a consistent bottom feeder in the conference that doesn't beat OU or UT (other than the one fluke win over failed HC Charlie Strong's last team), it doesn't matter.RD2WINAGNBEAR86 said:
I thought Pooka was charged with beating up his girlfriend or something? Did all of that go away?

I have to ask... Would you rather have:
A.) One A+ back two B+ backups, or
B.) Three A- backs who can all start?
The law of averages says the two options are equal, but...
1.) BU didn't have a single back crack the top 10 last season, yet we finished 4th in the conference in rushing.
2.) Kansas had Pooka and finished 6th in rushing.
3.) Iowa State had David Montgomery, who averaged 1 less yard per game than Pooka, and finished dead last
So, offensive line play being equal, I'll take Hasty/Ebner/(Lovett)/Williams over one Pooka or David Montgomery any day of the week.

most people on this board seem higher on ebner than on Lovett. both are excellent in my opinion. if we get some briles-era OL sized holes for people to run through, pretty much all these guys are gonna be looking like lache seastrunk.
If Lovett really does move to safety, CMR ain't playing around with the need for speed in the secondary. It's the opposite of the Briles approach, where all the top speed was on the offensive side of the ball. The fastest guy on the team is already playing CB for us. We're crazy deep at WR and RB, not so much in the secondary, which we know all too well.ShooterTX said:Grizz Air said:

I really like Lovett as our #1 back, but I think Ebner has a little more flexibility as he is a bit better as a receiving back than Lovett. It's a moot point anyway since Lovett is moving to defense. It's pretty amazing when your #1 RB moves to the other side of the ball. Good thing we still have some solid RBs to fill the gap.
Totally agree! That TD run was just too dang good! I got a fevah... and the cure is more Sqwirl!!Bearish said:If Lovett really does move to safety, CMR ain't playing around with the need for speed in the secondary.

Also Lovett at safety = more time for Sqwirl and I'm down with that.
Everyone calm down now.......Brenda Tracy is on it.RD2WINAGNBEAR86 said:
