B Back Transfer - Patrick Skov

[GTRX7]

If Q ends up being out for the year and has to redshirt, would a scholarship open up for this year for Skov? I don't know the rules.

I'm not worried about this situation. From the top, we deal ethically with recruits and those on scholarship. We must have a way to to take on this guy or else PJ wouldn't be interested in him.

No. He still counts.

I think Q and his fro actually count as 1.5 scholarships.

Skov can count. He knows what's up. He knows the deal.

Borderline Sabanesque?

Not at all. Saban pushes guys out. We know that someone will choose, on their own accord, to leave and we're just backfilling that in advance instead of handicapping ourselves.

I am glad we are hovering around 85. For years we were closer to 75. The coaches know, or it would not even be a topic.

@Eric do we know how the visit went? Is he going to be at the game tomorrow?

Well for one, he'd actually get to carry the ball in our offense...a lot.

 

[cyptomcat]

Skov can get more carries at the Spring game tomorrow than he did in his whole Stanford career.

Visit is still on going...I imagine he will he here tonight.

 

[Eric]

We feel things are going good on his visit right now.

We are trying to lock him down during this visit (of course)

Maybe we should show him film of this guy: (I can't think of anybody we've had at GT that better compares to him.)

I just love watching safeties get annihilated by big running backs.

 

[AlabamaBuzz]

When do you think we will know @Eric ?

 

[GTech63]

I just love watching safeties get annihilated by big running backs.

My high school coach was safety for the Redskins in the 30s and would tell war stories of Bronko Nagurski of the Bears. Said that was the worse sight for him to see was Nagurski breaking through the line as if untouched.

 

[Whiskey_Clear]

Might as well show him some of L. Cox runs as well...played aback mostly his senior year but I seem to recall that he got touches at Bback in his time also.

 

[ilovetheoption]

LOL, Eckel was made of bricks.

Lucas Cox taking the A-Back pitch at the goal line and then turning it up 5 yards wide of the tackle box was unstoppable. You have a strong safety or Will LB trying to make a 1-0n-1 stop (not just tackle, but full stop of forward progress) while Lucas was running forward with full steam. There's no way to stop that if you're a defender. To me, that was the perfect goal line play. If you put two 230+ A-Backs out there and bunch the defense, it's undefendable because the defense can't cheat to one side. There's not enough time for the MLB to help the SS or OLB. I loved that play. Wish we did it more often.
