I guess since I was able to report on how out of this world talented Wegher is, now I'll have to give some bad news. I saw this coming with Goebel when I did the original White RBs 2009 write-up. Here's what I said:
Cincinatti: John Goebel: Realistically I am not setting my expectations high for Goebel's carries to increase. Goebel slightly outplayed starter Jacob Ramsey; posting a slightly better YPC, more TDs and a better longest run. However, Ramsey is going to be a senior so I don't see a decline in his carries and Isaiah Pead was the very talented 3rd string RB last season posting the best YPC and longest run in limited time. Pead is also the "MOST HYPED" RB on the team. Hopefully Goebel will see around the same number of carries, but I'm not hopeful for an increase.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
But here's the current situation: Pead, who gets a constant love fest from Rivals and now NFLdraftscout as a big time prospect, hasn't looked so "amazing" so far this year (as a rusher anyway)...Ramsey has looked very good. I had a feeling that Goebel was going to fall to 3rd team this year, but the shocker is that now he looks to be even further down the depth chart as the 4th or 5th tailback. Hopefully coach Kelly will be fair next year, as Ramsey will be gone, and allow JG to split carries with Pead. I think JG will be a senior next year and I don't understand some no name underclassmen passing him on the depth chart so fast!
Jared Hawkins is still hurt, but Zac Stacy is playing well...albeit the first week was against a completely crap defense. I just hope that Hawkins will be the starter again once his ankle is fully healed. Kevin Harris wasn't used nearly enough this week. Jourdan Brooks had a big game for RU this week and Jersey Joe is going to have to step up next week to not fall to second team- we all know the margin of error is VERY slim for white tailbacks. Joe had a solid first week, but didn't play too well this week against a crappy defense. Heck, some Rivals fawned over true frosh actually got as many carries as Joe. Not a good sign, he could go the way of John Goebel.
