Yes, 1AA brings up a good point. Mahone could be that back for us.

Mahone is best option in a while.  Hope he can play.  Even Moore, who most liked, including me, was at best 205 At least Will is listed at 220.

Moore was at 225 this spring before his injury. I think the staff moved Mahone to WR because we needed depth there and they figured Ryan could go. This could all change in Fall camp last time I heard Pelini expects Mahone to be ready for camp

He came in "listed" at 205 which is football talk for 195.  Never set foot on the field at anything like 225, but he was FAR for powerful than Ruiz and certainly Webb.  They are nice backs but it’s been years if not a decade since we had what I would call a power back.
I do recall a converted TE with power, but used mostly as blocker and had maybe a dozen carries, otherwise one scatback after another.

There are two sides to every story, and then there is the truth.  There is some rough stuff in this article I must admit:

Unless there's a compelling counterstory....this is a pass.

39 days. That is big news on the LB transfer. Will help with likely depth issues from firearm incident.

These are the kinds of transfers that I really like to see.  A Big Ten recruit.  No baggage that we know about, merely a victim of a change in schemes caused by new coaches.  We have to be careful about hype, but that article called him "a key part of the 2016 recruiting class."

Was actually committed to Mississippi St before committing to Rutgers. Also had an offer from UNC. Kid can play.
