Good for Gary!

Wisconsin is a great landing spot for a running backs coach. They always have elite offensive lines and tons of run first schemes.

I vividly remember when Lorenzo White got hurt in ‘93 and Brown took over(8 games left in season) and put up 1000 yards. It was quite a year for him and quite the performance. Lorenzo was not doing as well that year when he went down(almost 500 yards through 8 games) so it was quite the jump in production from the rb position in the run and shoot offense.

Good luck Gary!

Good man. Glad he landed in a good spot and is feeling better.

 

[cowboyec]

Completely coddled Zeke. But other than that yea.

whatever.
his backs always played well.
his position group was prepared.
