[NU Sports] How soon they forget

[Roy Lamberton]

If we have to survive a game without Arrington, then Indiana would be the
one to break in the new guys in the middle. 

All the rumbling about breakdowns in the linebackers with Arrington's injury
discount the fact that Dinard actually started a few games as a soph, and
several other of our backups have a lot of playing time.

All in all, if Arrington was going to be hurt, there are a lot more backups
in Evanston that there was back when a few other top MLBs went down with
injury.

That's why this is our year.  Upperclassmen at all the skill positions.

Persa will have to win the job, but clearly he has the inside track just
because of his upside.

I'm a little concerned about Indiana this weekend because of Arrington's
absence and how that is going to affect our run defense.

We're 7.5 point favorites right now.  Hopefully the stout D that shut
down Iowa will travel to Bloomington.

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.
