Well it sure seems like it based on those tweets. Charbonnet, Haskins and Evans would be a nice trio of RBs for 2020.
November 7th, 2019 at 2:24 PM ^
I'll take Tru Wilson over Evans.
November 7th, 2019 at 2:26 PM ^
Well he's a senior, so that's not an option. It's Evans or nothing
November 7th, 2019 at 2:44 PM ^
I am happy for Evans if this is true, but it's not Evans or nothing. We have two RB on the roster, and maybe 3, that look REALLY promising. My preference would be to develop those guys and not spend a lot of snaps on a player with only one year left who hasn't been too impressive in his time here. Not a knock on Evans, but our RB this year look like they can be very good.
November 7th, 2019 at 5:56 PM ^
He wasn't implying Chris Evans would be the only RB on the roster....
November 7th, 2019 at 5:57 PM ^
Tru Wilson has the option of returning next season as a 5th year senior.
We'll be able to claim an "injury" and get his redshirt back.
November 7th, 2019 at 2:27 PM ^
Not in year 2 of a Gattis offense.
November 7th, 2019 at 3:14 PM ^
No knock on Tru, who we love, but Evans is a completely different back who definitely has something to offer this team. You talk about speed in space and making safeties miss -- how quickly we forget games like Minnesota 2018. We definitely want Evans back, in part because of the great guy that he is.
November 7th, 2019 at 3:55 PM ^
Evans was a beast against Florida St. in 2016. Dude is so slippery in space.
November 7th, 2019 at 4:09 PM ^
"Awful" is not a personality.
November 7th, 2019 at 4:19 PM ^
2,100 career rushing and receiving yards, 16 TDs, and a career average of 5.7 yds/rush. Experience and speed is always welcome on a team I root for, even if he's only getting a light workload behind some other good backs.
November 7th, 2019 at 6:29 PM ^
really? Come on man.....
November 7th, 2019 at 6:33 PM ^
Take him. He’d be a great hire.
November 7th, 2019 at 3:05 PM ^
Hurt freshman Zach > any version of Evans.
November 7th, 2019 at 3:34 PM ^
Disagree. Zach is very good, but we have yet to see Zach gallop to a 60+yd touchdown after making people miss and breaking tackles. Not saying that Zach couldn't possibly be the primary option, but to say that he's better than any version of Evans is just not true.
November 7th, 2019 at 4:08 PM ^
Exactly. Zach is going to help carry the load in the years ahead and will be great. And Evans isn't an every down back, but he definitely has more big play potential than Zach. So does Haskins for that matter. It has been nice to see him get more reps as the year has gone on.
November 7th, 2019 at 4:20 PM ^
Chris Evans:
FR: ~600 yards on 88 attempts (7.0 yards/attempt) and 4 TD
SO: 685 yards on 135 attempts (5.1 yards/attempt) and 6 TD
JR: 423 yards on 81 attempts (5.2 yards/attempt) and 4 TD
Zach C, injured, with three games left, plus the bowl:
FR: 559 yards on 117 attempts (4.8 yards/attempt) and 11 TD
Chris Evans is nothing special and I hope he has a good backup plan because he's not even going to sniff a practice squad in the NFL.
November 7th, 2019 at 5:10 PM ^
This has GOT to be be sarcasm right?
November 7th, 2019 at 5:54 PM ^
Yet OSU wanted him AND HE PICKED US. Show some respect. He is a good RB. You forgot how good he was. And we can really use his skill set right now because he has that extra gear our current rbs lack. Kicked the crap out of Florida in that bowl game and he was so good that the staff tried to bulk him up to be an in between tackles guy also. I'm I'm rooting for him in a big way. He faced self inflicted adversity, manned up and took real responsibility for it, which he was supposed to do, and he did it. He could have been what 90% of others at that age would have done and cowered and blamed the program, the coach, etc, anyone but himself.
November 7th, 2019 at 7:04 PM ^
Wanted him as a RB? Oh wait... no they didn’t.
November 7th, 2019 at 7:47 PM ^
Isn't he a receiving threat out of the backfield too? Why are we looking at it as a one or the other scenario. Maybe he isn't a feature back, but Evans was always an excellent 3rd down back. He's got too much speed and talent to ignore.
November 7th, 2019 at 3:05 PM ^
Corum too.
November 7th, 2019 at 4:03 PM ^
Agree 110%. You can't have too many good running backs. We all know how often they get banged up and miss games.
November 7th, 2019 at 5:39 PM ^
Why hasn't Woodson bottled any Charbonnet yet?
Edit: Disclaimer, I am sure I heard Charbonnet used that way. I will take credit for suggesting it and Woodson would be a perfect pairing. And with NIL, they can both profit!
November 7th, 2019 at 5:51 PM ^
Dude, I like that. Good stuff.
November 7th, 2019 at 2:38 PM ^
Is he in playing shape? If so, it'd be good to have a fresh back for Sparty and Bucky.
November 7th, 2019 at 2:22 PM ^
Good news if true. A lot of people wrote him off unfairly. Not sure how much he will be able to add given the play of Haskins and Charbonnet.
November 7th, 2019 at 2:40 PM ^
The big news here is a young man who could have taken the easy way out and gone elsewhere, but kept his head down, put in the time and effort, and didn't give up. PROUD of you, Chris!
November 7th, 2019 at 3:37 PM ^
Here here
November 7th, 2019 at 3:43 PM ^
There there
November 7th, 2019 at 3:54 PM ^
Everywhere everywhere
November 7th, 2019 at 3:51 PM ^
Isn't the saying "Hear hear"?
November 7th, 2019 at 4:02 PM ^
I always thought it was Beer? Beer!
November 7th, 2019 at 4:33 PM ^
Dilly dilly?
November 7th, 2019 at 8:18 PM ^
Not sure it was "unfair," based on the reason he had been off the team...
Personally surprised the university has allowed him back, especially as a newly admitted grad student.
November 7th, 2019 at 11:50 PM ^
I would like to think that good people make mistakes and deserve second chances.
November 8th, 2019 at 8:46 AM ^
What about 4th chances when most would maaaaybe get a 2nd if lucky?
November 7th, 2019 at 2:23 PM ^
He could play the rest of the year, 4 games, and still get a redshirt and be back next year. Would be an interesting addition to the backfield and offense overall.
November 7th, 2019 at 2:24 PM ^
Is he even enrolled?
November 7th, 2019 at 2:28 PM ^
No, not yet.
November 7th, 2019 at 2:41 PM ^
And he can't enroll this late in the semester, I'm sure... right? Right umbig11??? RIGHT??????
November 7th, 2019 at 4:09 PM ^
That's insider info you can't have access to.
November 7th, 2019 at 4:48 PM ^
Such a dumbass loser response. Get a life turd nugget.
November 7th, 2019 at 10:41 PM ^
Such a weird little Internet stalker. You okay Alice?
November 8th, 2019 at 3:02 AM ^
The whole calling dudes Alice or Sally is such a lame ass geriatric burn.
Have another bottle, gramps.
November 8th, 2019 at 8:10 AM ^
Hi Sally. Nice to see your lame ass here too.
November 8th, 2019 at 11:49 AM ^
How this bum never gets clowned on by a mod for calling people bitch and pussy is beyond me. Those burns are almost as pathetic as Sally or Alice.
How is the hangover?
November 8th, 2019 at 12:32 PM ^
You are such a sissy bitch pussy.
November 9th, 2019 at 7:47 PM ^
It’s cause everyone hates people like you who call him out even though he’s been verified....
