PromoTheRobot Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 ESPN's Top 10 RBs of 2020. UB's Jaret Patterson is #4 Quote 4. Jaret Patterson, Buffalo Representing the Group of 5 is none other than Patterson, who was among the five most valuable running backs in college football last year. He posted an 87.5 rushing grade in 2019, which ranked among the three best Group of 5 running backs. Patterson was handed several opportunities to make plays for Buffalo's offense through the usage of run-pass options (RPOs), and he proved to be one of the best in the country on those plays, as he trailed only LSU's Clyde Edwards-Helaire in PFF grade on RPOs while generating a first down or touchdown on 37.3% of his touches on such plays, which was a top-three mark in the nation last year. https://www.espn.com/college-football/insider/story/_/id/28882983/ranking-college-football-top-10-rbs-2020 (ESPN+ subscription needed) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my mind that has been the primary reason why their offense has been so consistently good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for L-Mack, his brother Khalil has played an outsized role in his life. He lobbied UB to give him a scholarship when no other school would. Now he paves his way to the Bears. Did the Bears want him? Did LaDarius want to play on the same team as big brother? Will Khalil push him to be his best? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bulls are an entertaining team to watch because their offense makes a lot of plays both running and passing. The best thing that has happened to the program is the hiring of Leopold. He knows how to build programs and then how to maintain them. Hopefully, he won't be enticed any time soon by a struggling former big time program like Nebraska.

He got UB to the promised land when it was considered impossible, and everything that happened since was built on his success. But he also didn't believe what he preached. He got out as soon as he saw dollar signs. Neither Kansas or Liberty worked out too well but he's set for life if he's a man of modest means. But I've come to terms with it after Nate Oats skipped town. UB Athletics have never been as good as they are now. So we may lose talent, but we also get good talent to step in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't hate TG at all. Can't blame him for going for the dollars. Nate Oats is another one. I mean, he got paid, but Alabama is a tough place to win when it comes to basketball. So is Bobby Hurley, another tough place to win at ASU. Always taking a back seat to Arizona, unrealistic expectations. I guess you have to strike when the iron is hot though so can't blame them for leaving, especially when these other schools are tripling their salaries.

I suppose that's true, but there's also something to be said for taking the right job. I mean Michigan opened up right after Nate went to Alabama. If he wasn't in such a hurry he might have gotten that dream job in his home state. If you know you're good, why jump at the first offer?

Totally agree & Oats I think was a pretty hot commodity after what he did with UB 2 straight tournaments. Hurly & Gill, not sure they had that kind of leverage. I have talked to a few people within the program at UB and they said they knew all along the first good offer that came by Hurley's way he was leaving. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
