“I also fit into the offense and like how they want to use me. They want me to be a receiver out of the backfield and return punts.”

I understand the need for pass catchers for this offense but we literally went from the Power I, run the ball 40 times a game, offense, to the "we will never run the ball ever again because swing passes are runs" offense. Good lord

Maybe Littrell specifically told the offense to limit the number of runs on Saturday to focus on the pass game. That's my hope at least. Or maybe I'm just blinded by my skepticism to the actual run/pass ratio on Saturday and going forward

I would expect to see a little more throwing because UNT doesn't have a Marquise Williams to gash tired defenses on busted plays.

Excited about this kid! 

Quick, hits hole with power. Seems like he is hard to bring down video has a lot of breaking tackles. Him and the freshman coming in could be exciting! GMG

Coach Littrell was also O.C. under an offensive-minded head coach.  There's no telling how much of that run-pass balance was on Fedora.

Sounds like a pretty good athlete.  But if we had a scholarship available, I probably would have used it somewhere other than RB.

Agree.   I believe we only had 1 left for this class.  There are needs everywhere, but I would hardly call RB a 'need'.  Even if Ivery is moved to the slot, or has grade issues, we still have the two Chapel Hill RBs who can play (when they're not hurt).

Which.....has never been the case for Rex Rollins.  I think this is a great pick up and at the bare minimum offers a strong insurance policy for Willie Ivery.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying he's not a good pickup.  Heck, I don't really know.  I just think there are more pressing positions to pinpoint with a single scholarship than our backup/3rd-down RB.  We're gonna be in a world of hurt if we have to insert a backup safety in for McClain/Gray.  DL?

Now if he steps up to be the primary KR/PR man, then hey! It's all good!.

Folks, Rex Rollins not with the team any more. Old news.

We currently have only 3 scholarship RBs with a freshman coming in the fall. Anyone totally comfortable with that given that Tucker is unproven, Ivery is small and has grade issues, and Wilson has never played a full season?

I am not. Welcome, Mr. Wyche.

Nope.  But I'm far less comfortable with our O-line, WR corps, et al.  And you mentioned scholarship players at RB...how many scholarship QBs on our roster are you comfortable with trotting out there?

That said, I am also very uncomfortable with our punt return situation, so if he ends up filling that role, it's a very worthwhile pickup.

3 years eligibility and a versatile punt and kick guy. I like it.

^^^^ This.


Littrell is going air raid. We need a return guy who's not a regular WR, since the risk of one of those guys getting beat up on returns and punts is too high. I see him as a guy we can throw to the wolves and he'll be able to handle himself.

Don't think this has been posted yet... great article on this new recruit: http://www.recruitingnewsguru.com/interview-los-angeles-valley-rb-anthony-wyche-readies-for-sophomore-juco-or-division-i-season/

Writer says, Wyche currently runs a 4.4 40 yard dash and still working on speed....  writer states, "The biggest question surrounding Los Angeles Valley freshman running back Anthony Wyche is will he be a one-year top talent at the junior college level or will he be a two-year?" 

Sounds like a decent pick-up...

The talent Los Angeles Valley College running back Anthony Wyche posses was never much of a secret in the college football world.

His academic status was another story.

Wyche was a good student growing up in Philadelphia and continued to shine in the classroom in one season in junior college.

That success set Wyche up to transfer after his freshman season

This perplexes me, if his grades have always been good, how is that another story?

UNC was also ahead in most of their games last year. Those 4th quarter snaps were usually running plays.

Littrell's offense will resemble Leach's offense. He always had one guy who could take handoffs in the backfield next to the QBs or go out into the flat and catch a dropoff and turn it into a big play. But those Tech teams threw the ball A LOT...

      Regarding scoring and end of game offense, I do like that we haxe options on clutch times versus the whole arena and defense knowing it was Edwards shooting.

      I felt like they were built on Scott and Jones who stayed with us through thick and thin. Yes Perry came and had quick success before running away, but he did have more consistency than I felt we have had the last two season. Stone and Sissoko are the only guys who have stuck it out and honestly neither are top caliber. We are full of juniors and seniors who will be one and done it seems.

      Would be interesting to see their offense vs our defense.

      Honest tactical question here…

      Morris has his scheme and identity. I think its a big reason we've had so much offensive success the last two year and I don't want him to change it. BUTTTTTTTT I do think he needs to improve his situational awareness and I'll give 3 examples... 1. Late in the FAU game we broke the 34 yard run to get to the FAU 5 with 1:43 left...at this point the clock is on our side and we should run it down and force FAU to burn their timeouts. But instead, Morris has us run to the line and snap the ball before any time can run after they reset the chains. Luckily, FAU stuffed us and eventually burned their timeouts and we scored with 58 seconds left. But imagine if we scored after the big run and gave FAU the ball back with 1:40 and 2 timeouts? Who would feel good about our chances stopping them then??? 2. Our defense shocks everyone and forces Tulane to punt on their first drive. Tulane then executes a great punt and downs it at the 6. We then come out and throw a pass for -1 yards, no huddle and quickly throw an incomplete pass, and on 3rd down its another incomplete pass. So, we're forced to punt the ball from our own 5 yard line after only having the ball for about 25 seconds. Evans has a measly 39 yard punt and 7 plays later Tulane scores a TD. IMO, its a prime example of Morris not understanding the situation and putting his defense right back on the field in a tough spot. Instead of quickly snapping after the -1 yard loss, we should have slowed down and made sure we called the best play to get us a first down. 3. And like others have said, it PISSES me off he refuses to run QB sneaks under center when we need less than a yard. You can make the case its a big reason we lost to Navy last year and it cost us this year against Army. I'd much rather Chandler Morris fall forward for a foot than snap it back 5 yards and hand it to our 5th string RB. There are other teams like us that strictly run shotgun, but are still able to lineup under center and fall forward. The only reason we don't is Coach Morris' ego.
