I know he’s proved himself. I was responding to someone, maybe you, who says maybe it’s his natural position. It’s not. The production you’re seeing is because he’s a badass football player. 
I don’t care who starts versus OU. It drove me crazy yesterday when we insisted on KI when he clearly didn’t have it relative to RoJo. I thought the intra-drive interchanging killed drives for us. But it’s ridiculous to say “he should start” or he’s that much better than KI. KI has proven a lot more over a much longer sample size and had a much better game last week. This board is entirely too reactionary. 

It’s like the Tannehill situation- It may not be RoJo’s natural position, but he’s best on the team at it, and he’s too good to keep off the field.

    Switches positions.  Loyal.  Fights harder than most I’ve seen in 30 years.  That man will NFL, if he chooses.  I’m proud he’s a Longhorn.

  • BAD MUTHA FUCKR !!! 🤘   THANK YOU ROJO !!!!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

  • Congratulations, Ro!

It would be nice to have a running back who's really gun run is more than 10 yards, that seems to be about the limit for us.

Ingram didn’t get a lot of help yesterday either.  Defenders can’t live in the backfield when you run the ball.  Tom and Tim didn’t do Ingram any favors.

He’s been great so far, but Ingram has been better in 3 of 5 games. RoJo was better yesterday. Tap the brakes. 

Better in one, IMO.

La Tech by default; OSU he was just better; Rice kind of a toss up. I don't think it's an insane assertion

There's no tomorrow against OU. If he's hurt and holding back he shouldn't be in. 

Yes there is. I like to beat OU as much as anyone, but this is just not true.

 

See: OU's 2018/19 season.

RoJo and KI are averaging 4.9 and 4.7 ypc respectively this season. Last week it was Ingram who played better (114 yds & 5.4 ypc vs. 30 yds & 3.3 ypc). People saying we cant move the ball with Ingram I guess didnt watch the OSU game last week. Bunch of reactionary fucks on this site. Rojo is learning the position and KI is likely nowhere close to 100%. I'm just glad we still have to viable options right now.

Yeah. When ingram’s healthy, they’re pretty similar and Ingram was a lot better against OSU. The problem with Ingram is he runs high, so he takes a lot of big hits, and his running drops off a cliff when he’s not 100%. We need to treat RoJo as RB1 against OU and let Ingram get healthy. He’s just not very effective when he’s banged up. Long term, Ingram will never be a workhorse back for a whole season. He takes too many hits square on.

Designed runs for Sam will not be double digits unless you include some RPO stuff with him rollling out with an option to run.

For most games besides OU and probably Baylor this is correct, but we’re absolutely going to call designed runs and true zone reads for Sam against OU.

The solution you want is currently murdering middle-schoolers in Arizona. Another guy who should break long runs is playing in Mesquite. 

I don't think we'll see a single RB class again. 

Actually, the quickest solution to this problem is currently recovering from a sports hernia and should be available for the second half of the season.

I see...you found your way to the wrong board. let me direct you to www.calmlevelheadedsurlyhorns.com

 

If healthy, probably should start Keaontay vs blOU in hopes it helps his confidence.  Dixon played well against okie lite.

 

Another Factor:  "Kelvontay Dixon is currently a Razorbacks pledge, but he's keeping his options open.  "I want to make sure I make the right decision so I'm weighing everything out," Dixon said. "I might visit Arkansas in a few weeks (vs Auburn). I might see Texas again. I love watching my brother (UT tailback Keaontay Ingram) play."

Right now, I'd call his pledge to Arkansas soft as Charmin. I also will reiterate that I believe Dixon ends up in UT's Class of 2020. Stay tuned here, y'all.

Needless. You lose your threat of an RPO/zone read with Sam taking off. We are one of the few teams that doesn’t need a wildcat. Pulling it out in the Cotton Bowl with no chance of them letting RoJo throw for the first time is pretty dumb. 

No chance of letting him throw? After we have run a reverse-flea flicker-pass, and a pass to an OL. Pass Herman’s cell # along to me since you guys had lunch together today.

No, not by default, and no, Rice was not a toss up. Go and view some box scores. 

I was agreeing with you, dummy.

And yes -- La Tech by default -- Ingram played in that game and RoJo didn't. And I maintain Rice was a toss up - I can see the box score now, and I actually watched the game. Similar output as rushers (Ingram's success rate had much higher variance in running game) and RoJo outperformed him as a receiver. They were very similarly successful in that game

gonna go ahead and eat an L on La Tech. Memory not as sharp as it was in my 20's apparently. Rice point still stands.

Wildcat with Johnson is pointless. It downgrades both the QB and RB positions in one player move.

I don't know. The good thing about the wildcat is you can bring in an extra blocker when you take the QB out. Having Roschon do it keeps us from risking Sam and he is probably very good at it. He has a good burst through the line.

i hate when we leave Sam in and try to surprise the defense and line up the RB behind center and have Sam go wide. We don't get the benefit of having an extra blocker and the surprise factor doesn't trump that. We haven't do it that much but I hate it.

When was the last time they did that though? It hasn’t happened this season has it?

Bump, yep.

LETS FUCKING GOOOOOO

he should starts and finish.

Oh, he definitely finished on that last drive.

Underrated cutback move to get those last extra yards on the long run. He knew the OU players around him were faster than he was and he used it to his advantage. Smart player.

Anyone who couldn't see this was a fucking moron.

Want to take a moment and acknowledge this kid. The only player on our team that came to play. Kid is a winner no matter the outcome. Hookem Rojo 

Ingram was fucking pouting on the sidelines when Sam called him out on his play.

No excuse for him playing so poorly while Shug is ballin out there.

Have him come off the bench and maybe he’ll play better

If Ingram starts next game, I'm gonna lose my shit.  Ingram can't catch and is being shown up by a converted third-string QB almost every game.

this is reaching Kyle Porter levels of loyalty/stupidity.

Ingram should start studying harder. He’s going to need it in the commons work force

We do a RBBC anyway... the starter designation is more of a symbolic thing.

I think I'm pretty much on the bandwagon that Ingram isn't worth much so far. Make him second string and let's get Rojo to show him how a man goes to work 

Herman knows Johnson is better. But if he starts Johnson, he may lose Ingram and his pussy feelings. 

This won’t be a problem next year when our depth is back, but right now he doesn’t want to alienate our second best back.

When Whittington returns it will help, as well.

Rojo, Bijan (next year ) and Jwhitt. 
 

keontay being passed up. Definition of being recruited over. He hasn’t shown enough. Another drop today and the drop vs LSU

I’ve said before I think Jwhitt takes DevDuv role. Jake can handle being outside

Not sure , but from what I’ve seen he has the skill set to play any wr spot. Whereas Jwhitt appears to have more the body type for slot , situationally in the backfield
