I believe the story was that Konrad was hurt. I just don't know why you go with a true freshman there.yep hey lets give the ball at the goal line to the 165lb rb and not the 245lb fullback!
All three fullbacks were out and McIntosh wasn’t the guy for that.
Konrad had 5 carries for 26 yards and 4 receptions for 19 yards that night.
Their first drive they scored a td feeding him. Didn’t see the ball again and turned it into the McNabb show. 3 Int’s later it was all over.
The last one did get us a bowl. I try to forget that too
I remember thinking it was strange we didn't get a bowl in 2003. At the time I thought 6-6 teams could get one, and the way we had waxed ND in that finale, we would have done well. It's a cliche Parcells disagrees with but I thought that team was better than its record.
GRob really made us appreciate 6-6 more than we did at the time. Shafer made us remember GRob. Covid made us remember Shafer and GRob.
he had 3 touches (2 carries and 1 reception, totaling 11 yards) on the first drive...same number of touches as McIntosh had on that drive.
Wait. What fight?
Konrad ate his chunky soup.
Even with all that SU still could have won if the moron twins called aggressive TD plays in the final offensive possession instead of conservative play for a FG plays like the slang word for cat.
Yeah, we had our share of play not to lose decisions in that era. I remember jumping on Virginia Tech in the first half in 2000. Then we went into a shell in the second half.
His blocking made the offense go.
Yeah, they were too rigid with having to use him as a traditional blocking fullback. I hated seeing Dayne rack up all the yards and get all the recognition while we had our 240 lb guy that ran a 4.5 40 ramming his head up the middle all the time. I wonder how many of his injuries were because of his blocking duties. I'm sure he took a lot more abuse slamming into MLBs all the time than he would've running some sweeps and off tackle.
20 tds in 4 seasons (44 games.) i wouldn't expect big yardage numbers from a guy his size. but you do think he could have punched it in more. for a little context will shipley who we faced today scored 26 td's in his first 2 season. allen and shredder both have 6 after 5 games this season . weapons. not sure if konrad was ever all american or even all BE. not hating on the dude (he was a dolphin) but let's face it , #44 wasn't retired becuz of rob konrad.
