Kyle would have held on to the ball, and would have also moved forward, typical GW crumbles on contract.
Are you comparing GW to the B1G’s 2nd leading rusher? KM is a beast. His size makes it very hard to get a good shot on him.
En is doing a great job at EMU. Very happy for him too.
Girl has a splint on her pinky and the guy beside her is definitely related to a Manning per ‘23 and Me.’
He can’t throw. Never ask an athlete to do something they can’t.
I don’t disagree that he can’t throw as a regular QB. As a once in a while plug, he can execute a single rehearsed pass play and be relied on for a throw away to be option two if the play breaks down (see his first career pass as an example). But that’s the extent of it and the Ashokans and Al and whoever else love his game and think we passed up a Heisman can go on all day if he converts an important pass play at some point this season but it doesn’t change the reality of his limited skill set. Hes not a QB 1 - full stop.
Do we really have to compare the two? Two totally different plays and situatiosn. Kenny was carrying the ball properly (high and in both hands), and he had the ball ripped by one Va Tech player while taking a head on collision from the other Va Tech player. Gavin was hold the ball loose and low in one arm.
And I'm happy Gavin is playing P5. Would like to see him get more chances. Opinions obviously vary, but that fumble was mostly on Gavin for improper ball carrying and securement. Evan will make mistakes too, that is part of the game. But Evan will have many more plays and opportunities to make those mistakes. We shall see if Gavin's workload increases or decreases. I hope it increases.
Fletcher fumbled inside the 10 at Va Tech and was still in there on the next series.
See above. Fletcher was carrying the ball the way he was supposed to be carrying the ball and he was hit by one player right in the chest and the other player was stripping the ball away.
Upon further review, KnightShift overrules himself. The Kentucky defender ripped the ball out of Gavin's left harm--did not hit with the helmet. I will take my lashes in the North End Zone of SHI in front of the cannon crew.
One thing people have to recognize is that the way RU players carry the ball is unique. I don't see anyone else do it. When a player on other teams fumbles which typically happens in every game; it's not necessarily because they were carrying the ball incorrectly. Especially if it's not counter to the way they are coached. Most often it's because of a helmet to the ball or a good strip by a defender.
