Goebel Running

Goebel is one of three backs who will see most of the playing time in coach Butch Jones’ spread offense, along with Isaiah Pead and Darrin Williams. Each has his own style.

Pead, who averaged 6.7 yards per carry last season, is a sleek, fast playmaker with the ability to break a long run every time he touches the ball. Williams, at 5-7 and 175 pounds, is a darting little speedster with deceiving strength. And Goebel is the short-yardage specialist who’s also versatile enough to catch passes and block.

“He can do it all,” Jones said of Goebel. “He’s not a guy who’s going to outrun everybody for 70 yards, but he’s going to get you the four, five or six yards consistently and that’s what we need in our offense.”

Jones is Goebel’s third head coach during his five years at UC. He was recruited by Mark Dantonio, who moved him to defense. Brian Kelly moved him back to running back and redshirted him his sophomore year.

In 2008, Goebel became an integral part of the offense on UC’s Orange Bowl team, only to be held back by the injuries last year. He laughs about being considered the big back on this team after being seen as the little back when Butler Benton, Bradley Glatthaar and Greg Moore were at UC.

“It’s kind of funny how times have changed,” he said.

This season Goebel is prepared for anything, from being called on to get the tough yardage, to block or to play special teams. As long as he’s on the field and not restricted to the sideline, he’ll do whatever he can.

“I wish things would have gone the way I planned,” Goebel said of last season. “It would be different for me this year, but you know what? This is my last season with the Bearcats. I didn’t do much last year. I want to be a part of all those victories. I want to be a part of scoring points for my team. I want that so bad.
