Solar No. 1 Share Posted October 30 Freshman thoughts: I've watch the carries Riggs had against Illinois and he has a perfect feel for the game. He has the vision, the timing and the spacing figured out at an intuitive level. In addition he has a great burst and knows how to drive through contact. He's the most natural rusher on the team from what I have seen. The only thing we didn't get to see is his ability to catch and run, which is important. I think he's going to jump Limar and Harris on the depth chart by the start of post- season. What do you think? Flowers was often the best player on the field at the high school all-star games and in the spring game he was balling out. Media though he could likely make the two-deep. Flowers has yet to play a single snap even in garbage time. He's not on the injured list. What is going on? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Fischer Administrator No. 2 Share Posted October 30 A player analyst I respect feels that Riggs might be the best RB recruit to Oregon in many years. He has already shown more speed and moves than Limar with one showing, and I believe they have been saving him for the games at the end of the regular season, and then he can play in the B1G Championship and all the Playoff games. Get him PT, as a No. 1 RB for next year. Interesting he took this guy's number... 1 1 2 Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps the coaches wanted to preserve Riggs' redshirt, while also providing him with ample time to learn the offense and get acclimated to the college game before getting more playing time down the stretch run? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
