Â He also averaged almost a yard less per carry than Adam Robinson, a walk-on redshirt freshman. Â And his one long run against GT in the bowl was mostly due to blocking and defensive scheme with GT having everyone up in the box. Â Robinson would have busted the same run. Â Weissman would have busted the same run. Paki O'Meara would have busted the same run.Originally posted by nu2u:
Brandon Wegher rushed for 641 yards and gained 967 all-purpose yards as a freshman (3rd and 4th best all-time freshman in Iowa football history) and set a freshman school record eight (8) touchdowns. In addition, Wegher led the team with 116 yards on 16 carries and scored 1 TD in Iowa's Orange Bowl victory over Georgia Tech.Originally posted by stevenpatrick:
I fail to see the cult of Western Iowans that still worship this loser. Â He never did squat at Iowa, and his "explosiveness" never materialized for his one year at Iowa. Â And there's more to his baggage than leaving Iowa after a year. Â Anyone in the know acknowledges this. Â There are many reasons he wasn't allowed to come to Iowa City for pro day. Â And remember his time at Oklahoma? Â For a week? Â LOL
It's great that his 23 year old self dominated the teenagers he competed against while playing for Morningside. Â But in my mind he isn't a Hawkeye.
No, he never did squat at Iowa.
His one handed grab against ISU wasn't skillful?
