RB Ty Isaac 'a harder, rougher guy' this spring
(Photo: Kirthmon F. Dozier DFP)A year ago, spring practice was a wash for Ty Isaac.
After spending the previous year on the scout team after transferring from USC, the redshirt sophomore running back expected to make a quick impact.
Instead, he barely made it in the coaches' line of vision.
He was injured with a hamstring pull for most of spring practice and essentially never got on the field.
For a coaching staff that expects players to battle through lesser injuries, it wasn't a good look and, except for one 76-yard run against UNLV, his season was a wash, not even getting a carry in the final six games. He finished with 20 carries for 205 yards and just one touchdown.
