Has to be one of the best in college football. It seems like multiple times a game he catches the ball and creates separation. Doesn't necessarily toss people around, but he pushes off and accelerates right past people. I'm sure I'm not the only one who has noticed but wanted to make the observation. Our YAC this year has to be off the charts in comparison to any season in recent memory.

Side note: CEH has exceeded my highest expectations and is one of the most laterally impressive backs I have ever seen. I think he has a very bright future!

It was not a missed tackle versus Texas, it was his stiff arm as you rightfully mention. It might be the most graceful stiff arm ever.

it looks more like a timing thing than a brute strength thing. JJ has a knack for sticking his arm out at the precise moment that the tackler is vulnerable and kinda uses the defender to “pivot” past him and keep going. It’s a thing of beauty.

I really like CEH a lot, but Ty Price is a far superior back.

His arms are long and understands leverage. Think about a boxer’s reach.

I agree. He has lateral moves like I've not seen in a long time.

He's extremely underrated nationally. For someone who doesn't have "elite" speed, he gets great separation after the catch and is rarely caught even whe. The defender has an angle. He's explosive out of cuts which is why he's always open. It's a pleasure to watch him

Price & CEH are such different backs. Price just goes straight for the hole and busts through. Thing of beauty. CEH jumps side to side a lot. Maybe too much. Sometimes I wish he would just run straight through a massive hole. Instead he makes 5 cuts and has a huge gain. I like that too! Haven’t seen much of Emery lately.
