Pringle

[CaliforniaCanes]

With Ole Miss getting gassed, I was expecting to see a mix of Pringle for a little change of pace. He had seemed like he was becoming a key piece of the offense late in the season.

He has had issues with pass protection, but man he can bring some juice that that Brown and Fletch don't have.

Curious if we will see him in the Natty.

Great point, I was surprised as well.

Pass protection with those stunts and blitzes was key. Understand them going with the vets.

Half the team had the flu, including Fletcher. Who knows if Pringle did also.

I feel like I have the flu after I eat Pringles

Dawson is too **** pass heavy! We were mauling them upfront ! We needed to run the ball a lot more and Pringle could’ve been a perfect change of pace back

I wondered the same thing and found out he’s out for the year with a torn something in his knee. Hope I read that wrong!!

Big-time physical football. Fletcher & Brown are eating & we’re complaining about the lack of Pringle. His time will come, but it’s not now.

This and pass pro…having him in almost signals a run to the defense.

We ran it 51 times.

Pringle missed a block on a LB in the other game that caused a sack. I think that was all they needed to see in this playoff run for pass protection concerns. Think the Buckeye game maybe.

I am wondering if Fletcher (and perhaps others) having the flu played into Dawson's calls at all last night as for most of the 2nd half it seemed like we were playing with only one back.

This game called for the big boys - Fletch and Brown.

Is this verified?

 

[Manfred_Cane]

I would've liked to see him get featured in the pass game tbh. Especially if you could've got one of their sorry *** linebackers on him.

 

[bacane]

Yes, and ran it well.

 

[PSU Cane]

I did expect to see a few carries from him in the 2nd half, especially with Fletcher getting winded and Ole Miss D gasping for air at times. But the coaches leaned heavily on experience to close out that game, other than DB and DT where bodies were thin.

"He has had issues with pass protection"

This is it. He missed an easy read against OSU, I don't think he saw the field after that. Brown and Fletcher are running well

 

[TheATLCane]

It’s funny because at the game I was wondering why we saw Marty so quickly. I didn’t learn about the flu until after the game.

Marty had a great game. I was also thinking we would see some Pringle for change of pace

 

[TwentySix]

We ran it 51 times.

14 of those were Beck and Toney. I don’t think it’s a hot take to say we should’ve kept running out of pistol early when they clearly couldn’t stop it.

 

[Ziggy]

Agree with OP and I absolutely love Fletcher and Brown. But their were a few spots, when I was just thinking I wish we had a super explosive, electric back.. maybe that was supposed to by Lyle but was thinking on Pringle could have made one cut and potentially had a huge play.
