We'll see how it shakes out but I'm being told he's okay. Monday will be here soon enough though so we'll see how he looks at the presser.

We should probably stop running him as much as we do considering his shoulder injury history
Actually, TF has used a "heavy" package in the past. While at LaTech, he installed what I believe they called a "T-Bone formation" that essentially had two attached TE with a WR either side. It really messed with defenses IIRCLook, the D lines we will have faced these first 3 weeks are larger and faster than any we will face from our G5 opponents. Brent got pummeled and will this next game. I wish we would load up the backfield more and use a FB or TE. That will never happen in a TF system so it is what it is. It's a bit unrealistic to expect us to not allow or be able to stop pressure from larger teams with 4-5 star athletes. The bigger question should be is how to we adjust or prepare? Should we run an injury prone QB up the middle or have him be in empty back sets 15 times a game? Should we put other people back there to help pick up pressure?
This is where coaching comes into play and TF has to adjust to win. If he doesn't, we lose. Yesterday, we did adjust well in the 2nd. I would like to adjust sooner as all of us would. We'll see. Minnesota will (maybe) be the most complete team we will face. They are right up there with Vandy on a talent level even though Vandy is a better D against the spread and was a tremendous matchup problem for us. Minnesota will be a matchup problem as well. It's great preparation for CUSA play.
The lack of a serviceable back (along with the "O" line issues) makes one wonder just who is in charge of recruiting in Murphy Ctr. If my son was playing QB, even if he wasn't injury prone, I would leave no stone unturned to make damn sure he had a decent supporting cast.
We let a guy (#11) run it. He fumbles and we pull him. He was doing fine. Instead, we went from fight to flight and shifted in Lee. #11 never saw the field again. I would have given him another shot.

He didn't bench his son did he?
Doesn't matter if 11 was small. He moved the ball well until the fumble. Tuck is 6' 220lbs. He didn't do much in the run game.
He had 2 touches and moved it well both times. He has a good surge in his running style. You gotta give him and Gordon more opportunities to try. Sheesh.No he didn't, he had one carry and he fumbled on his first carry.

If we won't give them touches in live situations, we won't ever know.
