Thanks, 22 - I must have missed that one somewhere. However, I did see that he is 3rd on the depth chart this week so he must be doing better.

He transferred out of Florida, supposedly, because of their spread offense. He came to ISU, supposedly, because he was going to be the back in a power running game that GC was going to install.

I say supposedly because I do remember mention on CF that this was the reason he came here.

Not all year, but he's working hard in practice and will help us yet. You could make the "he's not that good" comment about a lot of players on the team who are now making a contribution. He's a soph, cut him a little slack.

I agree with the play on Saturday, but I still contend a soph that is behind the leading rusher in the Big 12 and a ball control runner can help us. Why not call every soph who hasn't played a "bust."? This guy could be a star for us yet, or he might not. From everything I've heard from PR, he is a long way from giving up on Bo, and in fact has a lot of good things to say.

I cant believe you guys waste four to five pages of threads on this every week. When he is ready he will get in the game. Until then I guess they will continue.

Paul Rhoads is about as much of a tell it like it really is coach as you will find. Given that, his response to the Bo question sounded to me to be as close to a coach speak answer as I have heard from him since he assumed the job.

The tone was more along the line of why are you asking about this guy when I've got a whole squad full of players who are giving me everything that they've got. There was a chance that he could have seen the field last week out of necessity. As two of the guys ahead of him on the depth chart recover from their injuries, his chances of seeing the field will almost surely drop.

Bo would sure look good at outside linebacker next year......215lbs and runs a 4.4.

What do you expect Paul to say about Bo? Shred him publicly? Not gonna happen.

You're now reminding us he is a sophomore, but has spent 3 years in CFB. Also, he has 2 freshmen ahead of him.

Next?

I was just going to say that I would still like to see them try him at linebacker next year. If the contact rumors are true maybe he'd like it better if he was the one inflicting it
