re: Blake Corum the best college RB of his GENERATION

Oh, good lord. What do you consider his generation?
This seasons in the 14 games he played in (stats not in for last night on the NCAA site.
He's 12th in # of carries
35th in total yards
50th in YPG
He wouldn't have even been the leading rusher last seasons and he wasn't going to win the Heisman.
OK, cool. That is indeed a braggable stat.
You're assuming an awful lot. If he stayed on pace he would not have hit 25 last season.
He's an excellent running back, not a generational talent at running back. Bijon Robinson and Jamyr Gibbs are better talents in my opinion. But that is just my opinion.
We'll see how the NFL teams scout him. That'll give you a better idea if he ranks that high. Currently, I see him rated around #10 of backs entering the draft. His teammate, Jonathan Edwards, is ranked the #5 running back.
I do think that whoever picks up Corum will get a steal, however. He has that intangible quality of desire, a want to, as a quirky former LSU coach/Michigan man used to say.

quote:he 100% was going to win the Heisman last year. He had 100 yards in the 1st half vs Illinois(got injured in the redzone) no reason to think he wouldn't have ended that game with AT LEAST another 100 yards and 2 or 3 tds.
He wouldn't have even been the leading rusher last seasons and he wasn't going to win the Heisman.
We made Ohio State quit. His backup got >200 yards playing with 1 hand. No reason to think Blake Da Great wouldn't have gotten close to 200
His backups ran for >200 yards and 3tds in the Big10 championship
He would have had at least 1900 yards and 23-25 TDs at the conclusion of the regular season. Doesn't even include what he would have done vs TCU.
