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

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?

September 29, 20187 yr 1 minute ago, Machinator said: 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.

September 29, 20187 yr 4 minutes ago, texifornia said: I actually agree he has incredible potential, but the "it's not even close" bit is waaaaay too far given what D'Onta did. True.
September 29, 20187 yr 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. Edited September 29, 20187 yr by EZ$
September 29, 20187 yr 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.

September 29, 20187 yr 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.

September 29, 20187 yr 24 minutes ago, futureman said: has he gotten a carry in 2018? Carter hasn't played a snap this season.
September 29, 20187 yr Which sucks because he seemed pretty damn explosive in limited time and like a decent receiver out of the backfield.

September 29, 20187 yr 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?
September 29, 20187 yr 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.
September 30, 20187 yr He seems like he’s still about 80% healthy. Except for the last drive. And even at that, he’s easily our best Back
September 30, 20187 yr 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.
September 30, 20187 yr Daniel Young has 10 carries for 7 yards in the last 2 games. That stupid ass option to him needs to go away
September 30, 20187 yr 1 minute ago, 6th Street said: 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 September 30, 20187 yr by Machinator
September 30, 20187 yr ^^^ agree. On his limited carries, the play call and blocking have been poor for him.
September 30, 20187 yr 3 minutes ago, Machinator said: I do agree with this. He is a bruiser who needs to be running north-south. 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.
September 30, 20187 yr 12 minutes ago, Machinator said: I do agree with this. He is a bruiser who needs to be running north-south. 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.
September 30, 20187 yr 3 hours ago, jofus said: The jet sweep to Jamison need to go too. Hasn’t worked in four games. A variation of it will work against OU.
September 30, 20187 yr 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.
September 30, 20187 yr 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.
September 30, 20187 yr 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.
September 30, 20187 yr 2 hours ago, Hozz said: He should get every snap if the game is in question unless there is a workload/injury concern. 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.
October 14, 20187 yr 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. Edited October 14, 20187 yr by Machinator
