Fleeks come in with fresh legs. Our Young wrs need work, this gives them more opportunity to get it.
It also allows for Ives to rs.

The RB room got thin in one day, and we only have 2 real backups, and neither have any experience. Fleeks is a 5th or 6th year guy, played the position previously, and seems capable of understanding the offense pretty well, not to mention he's been willing to do whatever is asked. We aren't overly deep at WR, but we've at least got a few younger players who have been getting snaps in our prior 4 games. If we had to plug Fleeks back in at WR, I don't think he'd have any trouble jumping back in that room.
If we don't have any additional injuries at RB, I think you are right about Ives. If we lose anyone else, I think he's going to be playing the rest of the year.
No choice. I haven't heard much mention of this on the national media, but losing two thirds of your room is devastating.
I did hear how Iowa was struggling temporarily losing two of theirs.
I think Fleeks at RB is great. I was hoping we’d do that with Kemp, but this is a better option. They used him in the backfield plenty at Baylor. Fleeks can make people miss and is faster than Grant and very good catching out of the backfield obviously. I don’t think he’ll do anything between the tackles but if he has a crease he’s gone. I like him as a guy to spell Grant for sure.
Plus Fleeks may be better at picking up blitzes, something that say Grant lacks sometimes.
Michigan will play a legitimate opponent?
TW said he loves to see the D line gel together.

Maybe we'll be good enough to make them pass?
They are rated 118th in attempts this year.
As I posted earlier, HCMR knows Fleeks well so I have to trust his judgment. Also, if you can believe the hight and weight on the rosters, Fleeks will now be our largest/heaviest scholarship RB. We lost a very capable full bodied back in Gabe and perhaps HCMR was wanting to get another bigger framed RB in the mix to get us through the season.
I thought I read that we may have had our FB injured, so that would mean one more experienced guy unavailable.
