Becht Running

[Bvillebaron]

Remember Terrelle Pryor? His motion looks similar, it results in balloons on the longest throws. He's ok on the intermediate levels but anything more than 25 yards down field has been balloons. That's a direct result of an oblique injury

Wasn’t aware Becht had an oblique. When was that?

I have wondered the same thing. I actually wonder if he realized early on in the Wisconsin game that he didn’t have “it,”and that messed up his confidence the rest of the game. He just looked terrible. The podcast from BWI stated the other day that he is 1 for 14 on Long balls over 20 yards outside the numbers this year, and that includes 0-7 vs Wisconsin - so the problem has persisted the whole year. Koby covered up a lot of the problem overall with Rocco in those first three games by making difficult catches. Supposedly Rocco was remarkably better at those throws in prior years at ISU. My personal opinion is that he is not healthy. That’s the scariest possibility of them all because it’s not fixable.

My personal opinion is that is taking excuse making to a new level. Funny how I didn’t hear any of these concerns when he was playing against the three cupcakes they opened the season against.

Allar? Cmon man. The guy is a statue. I am surprised that Becht isnt used more in running and that he can actually run as well as we were led to believe.

Allar’s rushing stats during his career are very similar to Becht’s. You can look it up.

Give her our best.

Betting lines are about money distribution, not game outcome or quality of the team. More people will bet on Penn State than Northwestern so they skew the line to Penn State to entice bets to NW.

That's not really true...books don't care how many people bet on Penn State. They care about making a good line that sharps won't exploit.

There were concerns out there but Koby covered up the outcome. For example, it was noted by many that the first pass of the Temple game to Koby should have been a TD if he hit him in stride.

The next few games hinge on Becht playing solidly and the DLine and LBs doing decently. No collapses like 4th quarter vs Wisky.

I think Becht will play better vs NW. How much better? Who knows but there needs to be significant improvement. I hope we can run on them, including Becht running. Indiana exposed them in the run game.

IF we can squeak by NW and Becht plays better then we have a decent shot vs USC. They play terrible in the east and their D is just average at best. A WO crowd has to help us somewhat.

Then maybe Koby is back for the Cheaters.

Maybe but it’s not how but how many. Check out the numbers.

Oh I thought he had shoulder injuries. Any oblique last year should not be an issue now.
