I was surprised that Chubbs was not more impressive. Dog fans had said he was Gurley II. He looked good, but no better than Connor of Pitt. Not in the same class of dangerous as Gurley or Duke Johnson.
I've played the "Laskey or Days" game in my head all year as many posters have. I had pretty much decided Days, but after Saturday, I don't know. Laskey was the quickest to the hole of any B back I have seen that day. And he was running through tackles and dragging for the extra yards.
As far as can remember, we had no big plays. None. I don't mean 60 yard scoring plays either. I can't remember anything going for more than say, 17 yards. And yet we won.
The repeated runs up the middle was the most satisfying part of the win for me. Or maybe stopping them when they tried the same thing. It's football at its purest. When you do that and you stop them cold when they try it, there is no luck or no getting around the blow to psyche or the joy if your team is the one doing it.
Couldn't we just plug Shamire into Shaq's spot and leave everyone else in the same starting offensive line lineup next year?
