Still haven’t lost a fumble?

[Charleston Pony]

Amazing that we haven't lost a fumble but also have to give Hicks credit for making better decisions and not throwing the picks he did last year. He's been lucky a few times but has improved tremendously between his 1st and 2nd years, as you would hope.

Those three games, where I thought we were headed for the dumpster, UConn, UC, and Tulsa, have made me a believer in this offense and Hicks. What a change from the past. Keep it up, 'Stangs.

Our running backs not fumbling is really impression. Two are smaller than average and the ball doesn't even come close to popping out. It isn't like we are recovering fumbles. We just never fumble the ball. Our coaching staff does a great job teaching ball security.

Freeman is 207 lbs
Jones is 203 lbs
West is 170 lbs

I don’t think you realize how much Jones has physically developed.

I do not think anyone on this thread knows the word “jinx”.

[gostangs]

I thought freeman looked best vs Tulsa. Hope he starts getting the ball more. We need a bigger style runner vs bigger faster teams like UCF.

[Stallion]

Sometimes-Jones and Freeman get into the habit of too much dancing-I love how West hits to hole at 90 mph-he's a brave young man at 170

[SMUer]

He practices against our linebackers :/

[HarvCrimYaleBlue]

West technically fumbled the ball twice. He just happen to pick the ball up without the threat of the opposing team taking it.

[ojaipony]

West is our most explosive running back (and best receiving threat). X. Jones is our more traditional type even if a little under sized he still runs hard. Freeman is a closer. And although I've been on the X. Jones bandwagon, I think B. West should get more carries against these next 3 teams. I'd start Jones, and of course stick with the hot hand, but I'd like to see West get a bit more involved in the offense. We will need to score 50 in each of these games to win any of them. I'm doubtful but I hope we can sneak in one.

I would like to see more West in the 2 minute drill portions of the game. He has better home run potential than the others and is tougher to manage when he comes out of the backfield.

Other than that, I think the coaches do a good job getting each of them touches.

Was Medlock ever tried on any of the return teams? I've seen him on the punt return, but never as the returner. From the little I've seen of him, he looks really explosive.

[gostangs]

We will need a banger agasint much bigger faster LB's than we have seen, other than maybe TCU. Our little guys will get swallowed up. Freeman should be ready for some plays.

Again, Freeman 207 lbs. Jones 203 lbs.
