Some guys in the recruiting forum were angsting about not landing a higher rated 5* RB in the '18 cycle. I tried telling those fools what I saw with my own eyes at the state championship game in 2016...Ingram pretty much single handedly took over the game when it looked like his team was gonna get blown out in the first half...both running and catching the ball as well.

 

He's good, and in some ways better than the last 2 true 5* RB's we've had.

 

 

 

 

 

Better than Malcolm Brown and J Gray for sure 

He didn't look 100 percent against froggy. I hope they let him heal up for OU

Not that I am an expert or my opinion matters but just rewatched the TCU game and slowed down every carry by Ingram.  What I saw was a guy with not good but elite feet and vision his jump cut is very impressive.  Ingram will be an elite RB at Texas if he stays healthy.

Stopped reading right here. With as many experts as we have on Surly, why would I listen to you?

This guy's probably never played a lick of madden.

There is no question. Better than either right out of high school (pre-injury). Perfect example of dumbass ratings. Ingram is our best back since JC and it isn’t really close.

Did you just forget D'Onta winning the Doak Walker or what?

I think Ingram will be better.

I actually agree he has incredible potential, but the "it's not even close" bit is waaaaay too far given what D'Onta did.

Jesus. But what machinator said.

I generally block out the Strong era. And I’m a fucking moron.

True.

D’Onta was damn good, but he’s lucky he played in the Charlie Strong era.

I could imagine him getting in the Herman doghouse real quick and not sure those 5-8 carries a game would’ve improved his draft stock.

I hope all RB get fed this week and finally break a good long run.  If Ingram isn't 100%, limit him and feed Tre and Danny.  Run the ball, burn clock and break their will.     

I would absolutely love to see Trey or Danny break a long one this week.🤘

Release the Ingram.

Because if I’m right maybe you will pay me treefiddy 

D’onta winning the doak behind one of the shittiest offensive lines in Texas history is testiment to how great of a runner he is. He’s the only reason I didn’t kill myself in the middle of the 2016 season.

Real talk: what the hell happened to Carter?

do you want to play 6 running backs?

Benched because of fumblitis. Apparently reacted poorly to that. Probably going to transfer.

has he gotten a carry in 2018?

Carter hasn't played a snap this season.

Which sucks because he seemed pretty damn explosive in limited time and like a decent receiver out of the backfield.

in the 4th quarter, every time they'd give the ball to young, i was screaming at the TV......

 

GODDAMNIT THERMENSA JUST GIVE THE FUCKING BALL TO INGRAM!  HOW HARD IS THIS?

Possibly the most gifted player on the team and needs 20+ carries a game. Dude makes guys miss and can turn a no gain into 4 yards.

I hope the lack of touches means therm is saving him for fair park.  2 out of 3 touches are good for 5 yards.  1 out of 5 touches are good for 10 yards.  He needs 20 touches and he's going to the house at least once.

He seems like he’s still about 80% healthy. Except for the last drive.

And even at that, he’s easily our best Back

Ingram has a bone bruise and a hip pointer. He also has been in a college S&C program for just under 4 months while going through a very physically grueling stretch of USC, TCU, KSU, and next week OU.

Daniel Young has 10 carries for 7 yards in the last 2 games. That stupid ass option to him needs to go away

I do agree with this. He is a bruiser who needs to be running north-south.

Edited by Machinator

^^^ agree.  On his limited carries, the play call and blocking have been poor for him.

Yeah, That was a total neuron misfire (among many) to bring him in and run a play least conducive to his forte. Ingram, however,  should he have a healthy career, has the look of being very special for the next couple of years. He finds yards where most don’t know exist. Looking forward to following his career, especially if we can develop a better than average line to run behind.

He needs to be running in practice. 

If Keontay is back to 100% Young shouldn't touch the field unless it's a blocking play. 

The jet sweep to Jamison need to go too. Hasn’t worked in four games.

A variation of it will work against OU.

It's maddening how badly Herman has managed skill position snaps on offense.  He's gotten better at it, generally speaking the right WRs get the most snaps...but man he still sucks at divvying up RB snaps.  Ingram is much better than all the rest.  He should get every snap if the game is in question unless there is a workload/injury concern.  Tre is solid but he just doesn't run as well as Ingram.  Young, at this point in the season looking at his body of work, should not get snaps unless the game is decided.  Porter should not get any more snaps until Senior day and then only if his parents are there.  NFI if we'll ever see CJ's brother or TC again.

I don’t have a problem with Watson getting a lot of work. He’s decent enough, Ingram is still injured and he had a pretty sizable workload in high school.

 

Ingram is gonna be better than Dobbins at tosu.  Hope he gets healthier after this week which we are gonna need him playing 80% of the snaps.

I mean, there is an injury concern. Two injuries, in fact.

But if we're going to use him on a drive, then don't yank him.

Well, I’m 99% sure Ingram was limited yesterday due to injury. Didn’t want to use him up before OU. 

id say he's 100% gonna play.

  • 2 weeks later...

Ingram's carries:

Maryland - 6 rushes, 37 yds, 6.2 avg
Tulsa - 10 rushes, 64 yds, 6.4 avg
USC - DNP
TCU - 8 rushes, 38 yds, 4.8 avg
KSU - 10 rushes, 68 yds, 6.8 avg
OU - 13 rushes, 86 yds, 6.6 avg
BU - 19 rushes, 110 yds, 5.8 avg

It's clear the coaches are easing him into being the main guy. The bye week should be big for his recovery and development.
