1 - same crew that said we were fine at RB last year when everyone was freaking out. They were right.
2 - they did try to address DL in the portal last year. In fact, they pulled 5-star Nwaneri out of the portal. They also brought in Jaylen George and Gabe Moore.

No one is happy with the DL play in 2025...but let's not start just making shit up...
I admire your relentless optimism but bringing in Jaylen George and Gabe Moore was not addressing the DL problem it was more of hey there’s 2 warm bodies we don’t have to pay. Nwaneri was a great get but obviously wasn’t read to contribute at a high level yet. Everybody was mad that they didn’t bring in a portal RB to back up EJ which they tried they were just too cheap to do so. That’s why they converted a WR to RB who coincidentally will probably be our best RB lol.
 
The QB is the most important position -- no one is arguing that. But having a good RB helps a ton as well and can take pressure off the QB.

Do we beat the following teams without EJ?
MSU: 13 carries for 83 yards, 3 TDs; 37 yards receiving
Maryland: 21 carries for 176 yards; 20 yards receiving
Northwestern: 27 carries for 124 yards, 2 TDs; 15 yards receiving
UCLA: 28 carries for 129 yards, 1 TD; 3 receptions for 103 yards, 2 TDs

USC isn't as close of a game without his 165 rushing yards and a TD.

Our best plays against PSU & Cockeye were long runs by him.

Mozee was a RB first. He was converted to WR in HS so they could get him on the field faster. He runs like a RB and has RB speed, not WR speed.

I do like Mozee at RB he looks natural there. Wasn’t aware of the HS part.

1) we weren't "fine" at RB, we were insanely lucky that EJ didn't get hurt even though he had a gazillion touches.

2) DL portal action was pretty low effort and they prioritized big money on WRs
 
His value is all special teams. From Michigan.

Could see Pat fitz and Levar woods try to tamper and take him.
Nebraska isn’t going to pay him to keep him
I'm 99% sure he has to be a DSA, so he likely isn't making much of anything and he knows he'll be allowed to withdraw by Rhule. He is likely just trying to see if there is an opportunity for more PT somewhere else at this level.

Almost everyone in this thread would say there's no chance he gets more PT elsewhere because he can't get it in this crappy RB room.

Our biggest portal addition was on the DL. Hindsight is obviously 20/20. But we can't just change history...
