Freeze is now on The Plains. The photo of Freeze is yesterday's news. Robbie Ashford is likely not happy about Freeze bringing in MI ST QB Thorne.

NJDuck Author Moderator No. 52 Share Posted May 8 Top 10 returning running backs in college football for the 2023 season 4. BUCKY IRVING, OREGON DUCKS Irving was one of the most electric backs in the country this past year. The sophomore forced a missed tackle on 43% of his attempts, which ranked second in the country. It was also the fifth-best single-season mark in the PFF college era (more on that later). The only thing holding Irving back from being as high as second on this list is his workload. The Minnesota transfer’s 157 attempts were tied for 67th in the nation and were only 17 more than teammate Noah Whittington. With Whittington also returning, Oregon will likely once again employ a committee approach to its backfield next season.

NJDuck Author Moderator No. 55 Share Posted May 14 Gold: My All-Bang The Drum Team for 2023: 1 player I'll lead the bandwagon for on each Pac-12 team Borrowing a page from my colleague Connor O’Gara’s playbook, I swiped his idea for an All-Bang The Drum Team, full of Pac-12 players who I’m championing loudest in 2023. (Connor banged the drum for SEC players on our SEC site, Saturday Down South.) These are not the league’s brightest stars or biggest names. But all showed tremendous potential in 2022, as if they were on the verge of something special. And isn’t that more fun, hitching a star to a star’s wagon just as it’s being born? If any of these guys vault into the league’s upper echelon, you heard it here first. I like Connor’s parameters, so I’ll stick to those: 1 player per team No first-team All-Pac-12 selections from last year No quarterbacks Without further ado, here’s a look at my Pac-12 squad … Oregon: RB Noah Whittington Whittington returns to play 2nd fiddle Bucky Irving once more, but the talented Oregon back would be first chair on any other roster. Whittington was a terrific complement to Irving, rushing for 779 yards and 5 scores on 139 carries while adding 169 yards on 22 receptions. The fact that both stayed for 2023 speaks volumes to the culture that Dan Lanning is already instilling in Eugene. Gold: My All-Bang The Drum Team for 2023: 1 player I’ll lead the bandwagon for on each Pac-12 team SATURDAYOUTWEST.COM Which unsung Pac-12 heroes are we most hyped about in 2023?
