A lot of youth on this team. Everyone redshirted.
    This will be a fascinating Spring Ball since we know so little on the redshirts who were considered on the of the best classes ever.

    This is a great post. If Sean can find a way to get on the field, will allow Shep & RJ to play less snaps, stay fresh. Otherwise, need Dallas to continue his development. No matter what, going to be fun to watch.

    False. 2013-2015 we could beat any team out there by throwing the ball.

    Agreed; it was just that we were run first; when they needed to throw, they usually were able to. Only exception I can think of was 2014 UNI game. Brock and Carson were special.

    Agree and though we may not see more #2 draft picks come through, we should hopefully be able to recruit guys on par. An accurate, well timed west coast passing attack is difficult to stop for any defense, even if their dbs are better than our receivers. Brock's 2013 season was a thing of beauty and I don't think it's outrageous for us to anticipate seeing that again

    Brock was also a Senior in 2013. I don't have any doubt that we will see some of that again with our current personnel.
    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    We did have 4,098 yards rushing in 2013 and 3,980 in 2014 (minus yards lost, which were mostly sacks).

    Not to say we still couldn't have beaten people without a good running game, but that's a lot to make up for with a passing game...

    We absolutely need both. A power west coast offense will not be very effective if we are lacking in either the rushing or passing game as we have witnessed in more then a few games. We have to be able to take what the defense is giving us.

    Why do I feel like folks have already forgotten just how good Brock was that year? While he never had Carson's sheer ability, he was lights out that year. Still, the nicest deep ball I've ever seen from a Bison QB, Carson included.
