Pretty much a defensive end playing running back. Which is funny, because Perez Ford and Sutton Smith were running backs playing defensive end.

I believe one of the issues with Huff was his blocking. I believe two of his whiffed blocks resulted in a big hit to the QB and injury. Waylee whiffed on a block near the end of the game that resulted in a big blindside sack of Hampton.

So, what’s your guess? Will we see Brown and/or Blakemore today?

If we learned anything, I’d say it’s gonna be Waylee for the foreseeable future. It takes awhile for anyone to get out of the doghouse…

Awesome to have seen Antario get 84 yards rushing at 4.9 average and 1 reception for 7 yards.

Glad to see some of the rumor spreaders were totally wrong.

Did Blakemore play at all against Toledo? I did not watch the game.

Agreed. A bright spot in the Toledo game.

Antario ran much harder on Saturday, very nice job. I think coach lit a fire under him.

I don’t recall seeing him and he did not record a stat. It seems for now Credle has passed him as the #3 back.

I think Blakemore has to be hurt. I don't know how many snaps Credle was on the field for but 1 carry does not make someone the 3rd running back. If you're 3rd running back gets 1 carry, you really aren't utilizing 3 running backs. Seems more like Lynch is the 3rd running back and Credle went in for some reason. But they barely used Lynch either so I don't know.

But like you said, Blakemore didn't even return a kick so, I'm assuming like you that he didn't step on the field.

So, is this where I declare that Blakemore quit the team and is transferring and then we all run with that rumor until the next game and he carries the ball 15 times? Because that seem to be the typical arc.

You have to think he is either hurt or did something that maybe warranted a benching. I would like to see more of what the kid offers but right now the #3 RB is down at around problem #13 of #15

Appears Blakemore did not play

Between Childers and a Graham our offense could never get out of 1st gear. It was torture watching all those short out routes.


What was/is harder to watch?

A) the 2018 offense (20 pts/game scored)
B) the 2022 defense (35 pts/game given up)

Is death an option?

I really hoped to see Blakemore as he seems to have some ability. Waylee is fast but not very elusive and gets tackled too easily. AB is stronger but seems to run right into the defender sometimes. Not sure either one has very good vision. I don't know how they are as blockers compared to each other, and don't know if AB or Blakemore can catch consistently. We have too many drops by WRs already to add to that stat.
