Pulled redshirts from the 2015 Class

[southcliffbison]

Wish Deluca would have redshirted, we didn't need to use him on special teams. He was good on special teams but could have had another year of him dominating as a middle lb.

Very true; but remember Bohl always put the best players on the field; I'm sure Deluca had some input into the decision to have his redshirt pulled.

Not convinced they needed to pull Dmitri's. Didn't ever use Khayvon Hawkins and didn't really use Eric Perkins on offense either. A redshirt year lost for 9 carries and two catches hurts.

Any chance they redshirt Dmitri this season and play Bridges since he already burned his ?

I doubt it. They'll probably use Williams, Engel, Bridges and RJ as their top outside guys next year with Shepherd working the slot (RJ, Dmitri and Bruce Anderson will see slot time, too). It's an interesting idea, though. The Basketball program is doing it with Evan Wesenberg this season.

Was this intentional?.................

If so...................very clever!

I disagree with redshirting Williams. If we are going to have any chance of defeating the Hawkeyes we will need all of the speed we can muster to wear down their CB's.

Bison will need a very clever game plan to be competitive in that game. I would like to see Williams,Urzendowski,Shepherd,Bridges,and Engel running a continual flow of 9 routes,and deep posts while we burn their LB's with our RB's and slot receivers on wheel routes,screens and seam passes. As much credit as our RB's get, I still think they are underrated as receivers.

If we go in their full of presumption and arrogance thinking we will power run it right down their throats, it will be playing right into their strengths.
Their pass rush is weak.

We have the talent to pick them apart in the middle of the field. Dunn,Anderson,Frazier,Morlock, Illies, and whoever wins the H-back and blocking TE positions. Some have mentioned Morlock changing positions.

Then, in the 4th quarter after they are worn out....throw at the mighty Desmond King. He isn't fast; and if we can tire him and his buddy out in the first three quarters our WR's should be able to get a step or two if Stick improves his deep ball; and then of course, the power run game when we have the advantage instead of them.

It's good that Lomax graduated but I was disappointed Desmond King didn't declare.

Has anyone heard how khayvon has been looking. Seemed to look good during the spring game but didn't see the field much this year. Hoping he can add some depth to the outside receivers.

Solid post and shredding them with the short game (RB and slot WR) worked well against a similar style K-state team. Difference is we could run against Kstate and I think we will be very lucky to make 2ypc vs Iowa. Our physicality will mean nothing against Iowa and we will not wear them out with ground and pound. The passing game needs to work or we will go 3 and out all day and never sniff the end zone. My guess is any larger runs will be Easton

This a well thought out post from a game-plan perspective but if any long-term program decisions are made on beating/not beating Iowa, people should be very upset. Priority #1 is #6.

I will leave it to the coaching staff to come up with a game plan to beat Iowa. They usually do a pretty good job.

Good thing since you don't have a say anyways. Honestly though, what else are we supposed to discuss all summer...Frisco motel reservations?
