“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...

      G5 Rep up to #4 in latest CFP

      Honestly, there’s a 0.000000001% chance 2 G5s get in. They will plug any of several SEC teams before they let 2 G5s in.

      I don’t think Mack Brown’s the answer here either, but let’s not pretend McCarney is anywhere near Brown in terms of head coaching success. Brown would be a huge upgrade.

      The Band

      Our oldest is in the Oklahoma State band. They seem to focus on the entertainment more than anything else. The last halftime show had them playing “Bye Bye Bye” by NSYNC. Their pregame is just the fight song, Oklahoma, and a stand tune. Then they wait around while special guests lead the in game chants. In game playing is fun. They play iron man, dies irae, stuff like that. They play off the DJ better than we do. There’s usually no playing over eachother, though it does happen. The quality is fine. They have a new director. Last years quality was lacking.

      MAC BROWN

      Kicking has been bad, punting is average at best, and we allowed the onside kick against UTSA. Those are my main complaints. There's only about 25 teams (quick count) that have allowed a kickoff return for a TD and we're one of them. Special teams certainly wasn't a weapon this year which to me means it has the potential to be a problem. Regarding Morris being aggressive because the defense is bad, I just disagree. I'll refer to the Navy game last year going for it on 4th and goal on the first drive. It was game 5 of his tenure. He did it again on the first drive against Memphis last year. Two games we lost by 3 where he passed up the field goal attempt on the first drive of the game all within his first 7 games. If he didn't trust the defense that much 7 games in to his coaching career here but yet kept Caponi for year 2, that's a fireable offense on his own. Now to EM acting as an OC and not HC, this is his 6th year as a division 1 head coach. Are we really making this excuse for him? Honestly all of this makes me wish he'd get an OC job somewhere and leave.
