He averages 4.5 yds per carry behind a bad run blocking line. And I swear I’ve seen him bust loose for a TD or two.
Pacheco: All shake,no bake

I expessed my doubts about some of Gleesons calls this season. THIS and those interminable bubble screens are some of them.
Ya we should totally go back to the offense of the last 2 years that was worst in the nation.
But hey, it was great for a specific RB so all is good.
The offense this year that is approx #75-100 (with only BIG competition) and won 3 BIG games as been such a detriment.
That's some great football IQ.
If we had TEs that actually could effectively chop their job as Greg asks, those bubble screens might have us singing tiny bubbles.
Someone with better knowledge than me can break it down.
The last 3 years we've played ALOT TEs but they all stayed in the block. No blocking out in space - such as on a bubble screen.
It might just take time to get the TEs ( and WRs) to develop better blocking skills out in space.
There was a TE on Nebraska's team named Travis Vokolek who would have made those blocks. All of Nebraska's TE's looked like very athletic OL players.
Our blocking at the 2nd level is still fragile and poor at times. Nebraska has monster size linebackers who can go sideline to sideline ...we have some good but still undersized players... 6’1... 6’2 225-235 is small ... check Nebraska...PSU...Wisconsin...Indiana... Ohio State... not only B1G but can move.
TRUE. but,what got me is that IF We know it ,THEY KNOW IT TOO. So why keep doing the unsuccessful?
IP is downhill runner playing in an offense that hands him the ball standing still with no momentum.
The pistol offense is not conducive to his running style

As it pertains to the OP, do we think that is why Pacheco seems heavy on the "shake"?
And I love Pacheco, so I'm not hating, merely engaging in some critical discussion, but I've also wondered if Pacheco, for as hard a runner as he is, does not attack the holes enough to make those consistent gains.
Now part of my thought was based on earlier season, punctuated by the Purdue game, where Langan was able to make those short yardage gains, and that has since mostly dried up so......
I don't understand why so many attacks on players are allowed on this board. There is a specific rule against it.
I know it's a fine line but I'd like to be able to engage in critical disussions of players. OP probably did go overly aggressive.
That's what I'm saying. Criticism of moderators is strictly forbidden around here, but attacks on student athletes are fine? Give me a break.
It was sad to see the proficiency of 3-4 TE’s on Nebraska ... 6-7” 6 7”... 6 6” ... I heard Vokolak’s name mentioned but didn’t see him in ...Did he play... could have really helped us this season .
No he’s right in this trash talking about Pacheco... he has had several nice long TD runs but since our O lines of the past several years were deficient ( sucked) in being consistent in it certainly affected the run game. He does however need to give some plays or openings time to develop. He runs with abandon... Another fact which enters into the equation is our WR blocking which is decent this season but do we have a TE who can lay someone out ? Meyers is too small ... Haskins is mediocre at best... That 2nd level blocking would be so valuable in the run game... agree with Beaced... running Pop sideline to sideline is great but we need some off tackle blocking to work... This is what kills our run game when Isaiah is in the backfield... sorry I love the kid.
Sad that Nebraska's worst TE would be our best TE.
As Greg once said, some day our best will be good enough (ad-libbing here: and maybe better than their worst?).
He is not being used correctly in my opinion. We wasted him this year. One thing gleeson does not do is give it to the same RB fir a few plays in a row . I think pacheco is better that way and also I hate the side to side runs.
Not at all we just need to make some adjustments which you will see next season.
you're a fking moron if you think that is what is being said. If you don't see issues with the offense then you have zero idea what you're talking about and should just remain silent like a kid at the kiddie table so the adults can speak
Gleeson gave the ball to Hubbard a lot last year so he’s not afraid to feed one guy. We all have our theories, but for whatever reason he doesn’t view IP as a lead dog.
BTW, if he improves his catching/blocking (a must for any 3rd/4th RB) I think IP has a chance to play in the league. Angry runners have opportunities.

They also have him running laterally way too much.
Obviously the offense still have problems.
However, every aspect of the offense improved over 2019.
Rushing offense was BETTER than 2020.
If the offense as a whole getting better means IP has a reduced or altered role - so be it.
IP has to fit into the offense OC SG wants to run.
So far the offense OC SG wants to run has started working.

Overall IP was just as productive rushing and much more productive receiving.
Arguably it was his best year overall.
Everyone wants Langon/Vedral/Young/Adams rushing more - well that means less rushes overall for IP.

Wow. This really didn't age well.
Nor does resurrecting a 3-year-old thread seem like it will "age well".
So, if you think Pacheco is the same runner then that he is now when I posted this you don't know football. He was a tad slower, did not hit holes well, and was running around the line more than thru it. Those are the facts. Nice try, genius.
Ouch.
You got any old posts by that guy in regards to Logan Ryan's or the McCourtys' shortcomings ?
Nothing better to do than dredge up 3 year old threads to try to win internet points?
I am wondering why he also called out this one specific poster. While we all loved IP- like a lot of our NFL players, we had a good number of fans pretty much questioning how IP may do on an NFL team. And certainly, a few saying he had no shot at being drafted and most likely UDFA...
Points, schmoints. Could care less. Pacheco is one of our best, and most prominent alums. He's been topical, because of his recent injury status. I remembered somebody dogging him, while he was here, so I looked out of curiosity. Searched 'Pacheco', and there it was.
As to nothing better to do? That would likely be somebody who makes 30,000 posts on a stinking college football forum. That guy must REALLY have nothing better to do. Of course, if this is your site, if you profit from it, 'ah salut'!

I’m happy when you’re wrong too because you’re always negative. Lol
And yes I know your post is old but so is your general commentary. Negative and old.
OMG this guys is doubling down on one of the most wrong takes in years HA!
