MSU lands #1 JUCO RB
- Thread starter Ibdancin
- Start date
We have to have a running back.. Our present backs run hard but have very little juke. Hell, I can run hard.
We should have gotten a running back last year via the portal.....
Concur, our RBs go down at first contact too often.

Are you kidding me? Johnson plays and hits hard. He's no Boobie or Wayne Jones but he doesn't go down on first contact.
I hate it that we have to go the JUCO route. Instead hope it's another JJ Johnson.
Damn bammers have the #1 and 2 RB's in the nation coming. Pisser ...

Not true. Maybe in 2020, but not now.
That said, none of our backs are game breakers.
Can someone tell me what's made this guy a hot commodity after Memphis was his only decent option two years ago?
I see 135 carries for 651 yards and 10 TDs in 8 games.

Dillon Johnson runs hard and with some power. Woody Marks gets a lot of grief on here for coming out of the game alot but that dude has taken some tremendous hits.
Won’t have to worry about that anymore RB 1A and 1B days in maroon and white are almost done
What about his receiving yards, maybe he fits into CML's offense.
He came from a smaller school and got no real press.
This happens every year with players. I know a kid right now who plays in Arkansas at a 6a and he has no ranking. He never comes off the field. He returns the kicks, punts. Starting RB. Switches over and plas LB or safety. Had 6 TD in one game one being a pick 6 and forced a fumble too. Runs a 4.5, 6' and 195. 3 time state wrestling champ.
161 Carries 1104 yds, 28 receptions 698 yds, 2255 All Purpose yds, 29 Total TDs.
ZERO offers.
NONE. Not even ranked.
He will end up at some place like UCA
I question that ranking. We are his best offer and before Juco would have been his best offer. Hope he is a good get for us. But #1? Maybe juco RBs are down
it doesn’t matter how good the kid is or may be leach won’t use him enough to make a difference.
Why does a simple question turn into a Leach pile on for some of you.
Find a better use of your time,
please...

I guess that's the answer. Leach sees something he can use.
The #1 ranking seems pretty damn random.
I hope the kid's a stud.
Leach uses his RBs.
Our 2 starters both lead the SEC in receptions. And that's why this RB is coming to MSU. To improve his over all game.
I know he is committed but there was talk of him flipping a few weeks back. Supposedly grew up a Dawg fan
we are getting Juco for immediate impact. Him being here will not keep Dowdell out of the class.
Our current rushing stats , 1075 Yards, attempts 236, avg 3.6, YDL 226, per game 77.2 TDS 11 and total net 849. Where talking rushing for a RB not sec receptions. Like I said it doesn’t matter cause Leach won’t use him enough to make a differenc.
And like I said. It all matters. He uses RBs. And has ran it more this year and will continue to do so
Yeah, I was really impressed by the 10 rush attempts against Auburn.
And the 7 against Kentucky.
Our two primary backs, Marks and Johnson, have had 250 touches (166 runs & 84 receptions) accounting for 1,377 net yards, or 31% of our total offense.
we need running backs (PLURAL)
the nfl is proving EVERY WEEK that a passing game ain’t worth a 17 $—+ without a running game
Again I wasn’t referring to any pass catching only rushing. We’ve supposedly (according to ibdancin) a stud running back, unfortunately in Leaches offense you don’t need someone of that caliber. Marks and Johnson are perfect examples. Therefore if this kid is the top JC running back his skill set for running the ball will be wasted.
If you don't look at receptions when talking about using a running back in Leach's system, you're not understanding the system very well.
Which is kinda common hereabouts.
Same can be said for the NFL. If you can't catch passes it's hard to land a roster spot. Gotta be able to pass block and catch the ball if you wanna play in the league. If you play for Mike you will pass block and catch it. The 1970's were a long time ago. Not much 3 yards and a cloud of dust going on
