He had amassed 24 carries already. That's plenty of work for one day.I hope Porter was only out later in the game just to give hm a break, and not for something wrong with his shoulder.
A lot needs to be said about Porter's arrival. He raises the level of play at RB. He looks nearly as fast as Anderson, tough as a healthy Bowser and seems to have that half step to get away from the first tackler. I'm sure he must have caught a pass or two, but I can only recall the screen he somehow missed about the Ill 10, so I'll just hope he also has good hands.
It's clear that Porter should start. I feel sorry for Anderson as he fumbled away his credibility - on the first play!!! - after earning the start. Bowser does not resemble the player he once was when he won the start. There is a problem with the coaches' talent evaluation skills in deciding to bury Porter beneath these two players - and even Hull! - FOR NEARLY THE ENTIRE SEASON.
One position where NU can not afford to be average is RB and with the arrival of Porter they no longer are.

This is the dumbest thing I’ve read in a while. Talk about a misinformed post. Sheesh.
I just hope it's not a mirage due to Illinois missing many defensive players.I think his work was done for the day. We found a man who can consistently run between the tackles-or just outside. This was huge.
There is a lot more to being a RB than just toting the rock. He has to be able to the blocking and outlet assignments for the passing game. I think a lot of these are an audible based on situations. If you notice it was a terrible game to be passing so if his abilities to pass protect are still weak it wasn't going to matter much.A lot needs to be said about Porter's arrival.

Then we would be a lock for the BCS!!!!We turned the corner today! Wildcat formation was cool to see. Just don't let Justin Firlds throw it deep,over the top!
Easier said than done. Fields and his 2 main receivers - Olave and Wilson - are just flat out scary. One of the Buckeye boards - maybe the O-Zone ? - had a discussion about comparing Olave and Wilson to some of the great Buckeye WR duos in the past and they were at the top. But they have a few receivers that can blow by the defense and get deep. I think you've identified the main challenge for the Wildcat defense on Saturday,We turned the corner today!

Our defensive secondary is porous as hell. I’m sure you’ll throw deep and often and make our DBs look like Keystone Cops. So, yeah, you could beat us.
I like our chances, though.
