I was much more impressed with GTech's OL. Choice had some HUGE lanes to run through today.

Yes he did... but he also patiently awaited blocks and has really good vision and power. He really knows when to make his move...

I'm not saying he is the best RB in college football, I am saying he knows how to play the position... well...

This GT team is a team to watch...

If the QB can get his throws down, they could make some waves...

No doubt. He's an extremely patient runner. I don't think he's an overly Explosive RB, but he's strong, has decent speed, great vision, and good patience.


I don't know if GTech was really good today or if ND just sucked. Probably a bit of both.


This is gonna be a long year for ND fans. :bang2:

I agree it will be a long year for ND fans... totally...

I also think that GT is a team to watch...

Just wondering why Felix Jones doesn't get more credit? He puts up big numbers and seems to break a ton of long runs (7.6 ypc last season). He had a 44 yard TD run and a 90 yard kick return TD. I saw that he is 6 feet 200 pounds so he isn't too small. What is keeping this guy from being seen as a great player?

I'm w/ you. And if they both make themselves eligible this year, I wouldn't be surprised to see a Cadillac Williams / Ronnie Brown situation all over again.

is he? well that racist is better than all our rbs combined

True, but how long will he keep it up. He could break down and never be the same at any time. 416 carries will do that to you.

I love Mcfadden and Slaton.

I don't see any L.T. in Mcfadden though, I actually can't say I have ever seen a style quite like his, he definately has the ability to make quick sudden cuts, and more impressively the suttle moves to avoid tackles at full speed, but his speed is on a different level, it's like he's a friggin rocket sometimes. He does remind me a little of a young Bo Jackson, but much shiftier IMO.

Slaton on the other hand reminds me alot of L.T. I'm not sure even L.T. has this guys jukes. His abilty to stop on a dime, cut, and then accellerate in a blink is out of this world, Sandersesque, except he aint dancing, he's full speed ahead.

I was shocked to see how thick Slaton is built, I was concerned he was a little light, but after seeing him in a piece recently I am really impressed, he's built like a pitt bull, a guy as thick and muscular as Slaton is should not be able to move like that.

I dunno. Knowing the huge Arkansas fan that Jerry is, I can't see us passing up McFadden if he's sitting there when we pick. I just can't see it. In most cases Arkansas homerism would be a bad thing come draft time, but in this case? Man, I can't really see that as a bad thing. As much as the two back system has become more common, I'd still like to have the one superstar workhorse back. I miss Emmitt.
