Re: Ruffin up for Buck Buchanan Award
Nice honor for Ruffin. He faces a big test going against Bulaga from Iowa in the opener.
I'm trying to remember...did he strictly play right end for us, or did they move him around last year? I'd assume the coaches would him around some to create favorable matchups on passing downs. -
Re: Ruffin up for Buck Buchanan Award
He played mainly RE but they did move him some. I remember him even being in a two-point stance over the C/G slots a few times. A key this year is will the DT's be able to allow him to work 1-1 vs the OT with a TE or RB helping like Everette was able to do so often last year.Originally posted by SteinPizza View PostComment

Re: Ruffin up for Buck Buchanan Award
I know, I will miss Everette too. But, at least we can all be happy he got drafted so high. Oh, wait a minute. He didn't get drafted did he?Originally posted by Purrrrrfect View Postif only we had Big E one more year!
In all honesty, he will be severely missed up front. What a lethal combination between him and Ruffin.Illinois State Fan at a St. Louis White Castle 3:45AM Saturday March 6th:

Re: Ruffin up for Buck Buchanan Award
Kinney and Lane do a nice job of occupying blockers.
As far as the Iowa game, I think you will see Ruffin on his feet on the side where Calloway will be replaced by 35 Year Old, 4 Knee Surgery Dace Richardson...Comment

Re: Ruffin up for Buck Buchanan Award
Richardson was supposed to start at OG. I doubt they move him to OT for one game, particularly when they're trying to build some chemistry with a couple of new linemen. That spells opportunity for us.Originally posted by Brett Crawford View PostComment

Re: Ruffin up for Buck Buchanan Award
Any news here? I just looked at the two deep on the UNI site, and it's from last season. Who is expected to play the other D End?Originally posted by Chitown Panther View PostComment

Re: Ruffin up for Buck Buchanan Award
I agree there has to be another good threat on the D-line or Ruffin will be double teamed all day long. That makes it hard for anyone. It might open some lanes for blitzing on the positive end.Originally posted by SteinPizza View PostComment
