I, for one, 100% believe he is not playing around with Nebraska and is very seriously interested (thanks to Matt Rhule).

Both sucked, but I think the pass pro was much better by the end of the year than our run blocking.
Running game was terrible.

Absolutely both did. I tend to think it’s easier to improve run blocking, though, but I could be wrong.

Oh I agree. Mr. Whipple not giving a shit about running the ball was the biggest problem.

I doubt that he did his 23 MPH in a game, but I don't care. It's still incredibly fast.

why does the #9 ranked RB & #152 overall prospect in the country show UTSA leading at 51%? Highly rated 4 Star back leaning towards Texas San Antonio?

Most likely because they were his first offer, a year and a half ago 247 doesn't have him leaning toward anyone. The One RPM factors in social media occurrences.
