Title: Nwadiogbu and Kelly
Post by: ysuguins4 on October 12, 2015, 12:41:20 PM

Anyone know why these two didn't play?  Guins gave up 220 yards rushing, so these guys could've helped.

I'm not sure, there's a good chance the Guins will have to face another dual threat quarterback this week in Taryn Christion. The freshman made his first appearance in place of injured starter Zack Lujan and had a very good game against Indiana St. and accumulated 320 yards. Having to prepare for both Qb's and finding a way to keep Jake Wienke in check won't be easy. Hopefully our roster will be at full strength

I listened to the Coach Pelini show and the Linebacker coach made it sound that Wright and the dellavarde sorry if I spelled it wrong are the starters now

Kelly and Bam have taken a back seat for sure. Dellovade and Wright are more mobile and more athletic and Bo likes his LB's to move. Remember last year when Kelly would get exploited trying to cover backs out of the backfield and crossing routes. Think the change has been good.

Agree to the "taken a back seat" comment, but that being said, not playing sounds like injury to me.  Bam has had a tough season so far physically.

I know Dellovade and Wright have been starting, but it seems odd the other two didn't play at all.  Wondered if maybe they were banged up or something.  Redbirds averaged 6 yards a carry, so it's not like YSU's linebackers dominated the game.

I have been saying this.  Our LB's seem to be a non-factor in every game.

Is Nwadiogbu injured or just not playing? I felt he was our best tackler from a year ago..didn't miss many at all

He was fighting a hamstring injury early in the season. Been playing sparingly ever since.
