Griz RB's coming down to the wire

[Paytonlives]

I hear good things about Ostmo, But seems like every bit of film I see, Turner is running down the field. Is he the Griz #1 RB? Looks like a 4 man race with Knight, Eastwood, Turner and Ostmo vying for 2 main RB spots.

-I look for Arnston to move positions, I don't see any way for him to get time in the backfield.
-Feel like Janacaro is getting lost in the shuffle, position change??
-DeWaters will Red Shirt.
-If Ostmo doesn't get into the first 2 slots, I hope that UM plays him exactly 4 games this year. To talented to waste a year.


21 Marcus Knight So.
25 Adam Eastwood R-So.
32 Drew Turner R-Fr.
20 Nick Ostmo Fr.

14 Ryan Arntson Jr.
36 Levi Janacaro R-Fr.
24 Elias Dewaters Fr.

Any idea if Le Texier gets on the field at full back? Don't recall them utilizing him last year...

 

[kemajic]

We should be really well set for the future with this very young group.

They still list him as FB... the only one. :roll:

Doesn’t Arnston have to sit this season? Maybe Janacaro can play LB? The kid is to good of an athlete to not have a place on the team.

Arntson does have to sit.

Is Graves still getting any carries? He seems to be falling by the wayside. He's a good athlete though and I hope they find a spot for him. Defense maybe?

Graves is still a QB

If he isn’t head and shoulders above the rest this season I say play him exactly 4 games too. He’s a heck of an athlete. Would be a mean ass linebacker too!

This is funny. I went through this last year with Payton but here we go. If a guy is good enough to play, why would you only play him for 4 games? Why wouldn’t you play him the whole year. Why wouldn’t you save the redshirt for a year where he gets hurt in the first 4 games?

I was told by Payton last year that most of the freshman would play in at least one game to take advantage of the rule and that didn’t happen, obviously.

Well ya, but by "title" only I'd say. Unless there's some sort of designed run/trick play, I'm not sure we'll ever see him take a meaningful snap under center here.

Graves could be a great at running the wildcat...option qb.... as a twist.... maybe?

GRIZ!

Ya, that's what I was thinking.

If we are deep at his position and he’s not markedly better than the rest why play him more than the four games and lose a year of eligibility? I understand the argument you’re making, just disagree. I think you keep that year of eligibility and give that athlete more time in the system, as well as another year of physical development.
