Jordan Fredericks to transfer to UMass

[rrlbees]

Looks like he's running over a 170 pound umass safety.

It’s got to be the unis and helmets but that whole team looks like a bunch of little kids, which I know they aren’t.

He's gonna have to be really impressive if he's gonna beat out my guy Marquis Young.

Between him and Marquis Young, they have 2 of the best running backs to come out of New York in a while.

Can't believe I'm contributing to this discussion, but Driscoll just took a grad transfer.

Weight wise, the line is big. Check it out(Every team, last year):
(The 392 lb dude, was shot 5 times in the back in high school. Dead if he wasn't so big)


Looks like Cuse was the second tallest in the ACC

Good for Jordan, great kid. Hope he does really well there this year.

 

[AZOrange]

Fantastic tackling technique there

It's interesting to me to see that some of teams with similar offensive systems to us have some of the biggest olines in the country (Mizzou, Oklahoma, Washington State). I wonder if that is the kind of size our coaches are trying to have up front eventually or if oline size is an actual factor in running the system or what. Would be interesting to hear our coaches or coaches from similar systems discuss their ideal oline size, or if they determine it to be a significant factor.

It’s 100% intentional. Baylor was known for this as well, under Briles.

Yeah usually caused by the offensive player lowering the boom. If they eliminated that you’d eliminate a lot of injuries. If defenders can’t lead with head offensive players shouldn’t either

I think it’s the pads on the helmets. Makes it look like they are playing a game while wearing one of those novelty sumo wrestling suits or something.

I loved Fredericks and hope he does well. Still confused about how we let him go. Love the way he runs.
