I hope we don't see much of either Bo/Beau this year.
I would love to see those guys if it means we're up by 21+....

Just a hunch...we'll soon see.
I disagree completely. When I was in high school, there were lots of guys on the football and basketball teams that busted their ***es everyday in practice. Unfortunately, they just weren't very good athletes, so they didn't play except for garbage time.
You play your most talented players. Period. I don't think we have the luxury to do anything else. Now, if the talent between 2 players is equal, but one consistently outworks the other in practice, then that's a different story.
There's a former ISU player that posts on here who recently said that Darren Davis routinely coasted through practices. He seemed to do OK on gameday.
The chart for the week came out before he broke his leg.
i hear isu is recruiting the harlan running back dylan barrett, this should spark a little conversation
OWH (omaha.com) reported today that he broke his ankle. What did he break? They also said that the fifth degree theft by MT was a stolen wireless adapter for a computer.
Is Beau on any special teams? Maybe Bo didn't play because he didn't travel to the Kent St game. If Beau and Ekamando(not sure if this is the correct name or spelling) are special teams starters maybe they are the 3rd and 4th team rb's for road games.This was the depth chart for the Kent state game;

Bo Williams was #3, and who came in as our 3rd string RB in this game? The other Beau.
If you are going to break a bone in your leg, the fibula would be the best one to break, in terms of importance. The Tibia, the other bone in the lower leg, does most of the weight bearing. In fact, you can walk with a broken fibula. The fibula is primarily for stabilization for the ankle. So, hearing that he broke it right above the ankle, its not the best spot to break it. BUT, its better that he broke that, than his Tibia IMO.He broke his fibula right above the ankle from what I understand. Someone tell me if thats wrong. That seems like a very bad spot to break a bone. He is having surgery so I would assume there will be hardware added. Let's just hope he gets that redhsirt and gets back to himself.

Pretty sure it is, I look at the depth chart every week!
Get the TALENT on the field.
The way your post started I thought you were going to say JJ Bass.I remember the name of the last running back that had lots of accolades but stood on the sidelines all season while the fan base begged for the coach to play him.
When he finally did, he returned a kickoff for a TD. The next year he ran for over 2000 yds and then topped that by doing it again his Junior year.
That RB was Troy Davis.
Not saying Bo is Troy Davis, but we'll never know until he gets some carries and he is good enough to get some carries.
Then you missed a week because Blankenship moved ahead of Bo for the Army game. In fact, Blankenship played in the Army game, after Schwartz. and ARob.

Has anyone actually seen this guy play? I mean did he start for Florida or somthing? He sounds like nothing but hype...a real Ivan Chiriav. If he is good enough to contribute in some capacity he will see the feild. If he sucks he'll stay on the sidelines. Coachs don't evalute players by the eye test...(anyone remember Ron Prelow?)...they evaluate on your ability to play football.
From what I've seen of him in drills he can't block for ****. He might be a great runner with the ball, but if a RB can't pick up a blitz, he won't play. miss one block in a game and Arnaud takes a Tebow-type hit and is out for the season, coach's won't risk it, no matter how well he can carry the ball. Sure CPR/Herman could put him in on designed runs, but opposing Ds will quickly learn he can only run, it would only take 6-7 attempts before they figure out where the balls going when he's in the game, so it's not worth the in-game reps, might as well give them to someone else you'll be able to utilize in the future.
