Redshirt would do him well especially if he’s not 100%. I too agree that this is a positive indication of the RBs we have are doing well. Overstreet and Evans and throw in some freshmen to see what they can do.

I would guess Bigelow and Overstreet will be the 1-2 punch with Nico on 3rd Down

That's the problem with Vigen -- there's hardly ever a case when you don't need a third down.

I used to really cringe with Nico, but he blocks well and ever since that CSU game he willed himself to that first down I will be a fan of his

ps - I do think woods can be an effective DE if he's able to get bigger and he seems like a good kid and true team player. in other word, last year was not his fault. hang that on the coaches
Bury the hatchet. I think Brian Hill leaving early leaving had a lot to do with this. I also think the emergence of Bigelow helped make this decision a lot easier. So they had one year where they didn't have an extremely talented running back. Move on. They admitted their mistake.

This will be the toughest year of Woods' life...while most of us are trying to go the opposite way, it's not easy eating everything in sight to put on weight as a college athlete :lol:

With the new redshirt rule, I would expect that we will see Woods get some playing time later in the season after he has healed up and put on some size.

No way. Overstreet and Evans were so obviously better last year I just can't let this go. Outside of a couple fluky long runs Woods didn't, well, look like an RB out there. If he was such an awesome RB why are they moving him?! again, not Woods' fault he was miscast.


Woods should be a TE imo. He's got excellent hands. He could be a Hollister type threat. But I don't get paid the big bucks to coach football

Whats your reason for posting things like this without giving names or the real info? Too pat yourself on the back as being in the know?? I don't get it! Do you pat yourself on the back when you return here and the info as out.........."hey look at me, I was the first one to say something about this on a message board"

What's your reason for criticizing? For real, if you don't want to read onePokeOvertheline's messages because they may not contain every detail then DON'T READ THEM!! Of course he isn't going to give some information because he has a relationship based on not providing certain details. Do you expect journalists to reveal their sources too?

Frankly, I enjoy his posts and he has provided good and accurate information over the past year. Please onePokeovertheline keep posting here and ignore the Flo4wyos.

+1 Wyonation has provided an "ignore" button on here for a reason. If Flo4Wyo doesn't like a poster, he can just ignore the guy. Personally, I appreciate insight from someone obviously close to the program and hope he keeps posting.

I've acknowledged several times on previous topics that I understand this feeling. I certainly don't have an ego that needs stroked. There have been numerous instances in the past where a reporter has blind sided a coach in a presser with a question about information that the coach had no idea was leaked. I won't put anyone in the program in this position. Sorry.

I understand what you mean. I thought the same thing and commented on an earlier thread myself. Without the meat of it, what's the point?

Ultimately though, it prompts discussion. It gives us schmucks something to speculate about on an otherwise quiet message board. Most of the time someone takes the minute bit of information and figures it out anyway.
