Hard to see the kid/any of our Running backs do their thing when the Oline/passing game is complete trash.

He's the real deal. Barry Sanders couldn't run with this god awful OL production we've seen thus far.

BugaNation, Harris, and Malachi are going to be a very special trio.

Typical case of man amongst boys in high school but doesn't really excel in any particular area....runs in straight lines and doesn't possess the "jump cut" that great running back normally have.

Good freshman back. Nothing "once in a decade" about him thus far. Seems to seek contact at times. Looks relatively easy to bring down for someone his size.

Overhyped (thought not completely his fault).

Coaches have not good enough of a good job with scheme to get him the ball in open space.

Can't assess because he can never get in a groove touching the ball 6 or 7 times a game. Give him 20 carries and watch what happens.

This should tell you all you need to know.

Kid has zero chance to get any type of rhythm.

We need to accept that he's the best RB on our roster and give him more then 7 freaking carries.

Agreed

People forget that he wasn't even in spring ball this year.

The fact that he's getting touches this early is pretty telling of how talented he is. He will get better. Even Hill didn't get touches this early.

Sucks at breaking tackles, avg sec speed, avg sec cutting ability. Good hands. Very big.

He's a solid sec back at this point and nothing more.
Avg. to below avg at kickoff returns.

O Line makes him look worse, IMO.
