"True" fullbacks are hard to come by, and they're fairly rare coming out of HS. Bert's M.O. at Wisconsin was to transition a big tailback into that role, but so far it hasn't worked out here. At least we have Cantrell shirting and Hayden Johnson coming aboard next year.
As weird as it is to say, we miss Patrick Arinze as much on offense as we will Flowers, Philon and Spaight on defense.
It's pretty telling that on the depth chart for the Toledo game, the three deep at FB was Kody Walker, Damani Carter, and Kendrick Jackson. You know you're in bad shape at FB when your depth consists of a career tailback who is a soft 260 pounds, a walk-on freshman, and a true freshman converted linebacker.

I just don't get it. It took Kendrick Jackson, a true frsoh, to recognize our need at fullback and offer himself to the coaches for him to get there, and that was just a week or so before the season. It makes no sense.
