[NU Sports] How soon they forget

[mlinhardt at netzero.com]

Our O-line has been a positive surprise this year.  I thought for sure CJ would be under pressure and yet other than short-yardage situations we have gotten the yards we need without much fuss in both running and passing.

You really think Kafka is the man?  I am sure Persa will be our QB next year.  Having a single-year starter is difficult as usually are QBs are pretty marginal until their second or third year starting.  Baz was pathetic as a sophomore.  So was CJ.  Even Schnur.  Only Len Williams was strong as an underclassman.

Both Kustok and Basanez were good runners and when we originally put in the spread, RW was asked about only having one running back. His response was that the QB is the other running back.

Doesn't anyone go back and look at the media guide? Baz finished with 996 rushing yards and 18 rushing TDs, Zak finished with 1,294 yds and 22 rushing TDs, and they count sacks as negative rushing yards. Schnur is also mentioned in the article - he has -70 career rushing yards. Schwab finished with -276.

When CJ was recruited I remember that his running was valued as highly has his passing arm. His first contact in a game situation was a spring game where they let him run a couple of the QB rushing plays. He did a credible job, altho nobody was going to put him at RB instead of Tyrell.

In one way, Mike Kafka will probably get a shot at following in that running tradition - in most of his appearances this year it seems he runs the ball. I just hope he isn't just running for his life next year.
