BTW-I now am glad that we gained RH, instead of keeping DW here another year. Sorry Darius, but he's got 3 more years. :)

Oh and he gains yards after contact...haha

Man we have a real stable here, can't wait to see them improve behind an improved line (fingers crossed)

I think the announcers said something like 6 yds after contact. What a great game.

The whole back field is going to be great. There is going to be no let down, it doesn't matter who starts because they will all get carries

The key will be using the right back in the right situation. Oh yeah, and blocking by the OL. Good job all the way around boys.

Great show today...even dthe OL looked good most of the time. Better days are ahead. I would still like us to recruit 2 additional offensive linemen.

Gladly. Hughes is hotter than Amanda Bynes. Probably older too. Definitely bigger pecks.

That's an understatement. Hughes looked strong. Darius was fundamentally sound but he wasn't big enough, and he wasn't quick enough to compensate for not being big.
I was relieved when Darius declared for the NFL. Now we can develop some real RBs. I'm hoping Allen & Hughes are our next Brooks & Bettis.

Amen, brutha. I see no reason why they couldn't be. They showed alot as freshmen. We get some blocking going, and our offense will be better than last years. I give it two years.

Hughes looks like a much stronger runner than Aldridge. I wouldn't be surprised to see Hughes pass him on the depth chart next year.

Aldridge looks slightly more explosive, they both fight for yards, but Hughes seems a bit more elusive. I have a backfield mancrush. Can't leave out Allen.

No joke/exaggeration:

At one point in the game i spontaneously yelled "I love Robert Hughes. By which I mean if I was a girl I would want to date him."

Everyone around me laughed, but I think they thought i was joking.

I'm not gonna get an RH tattoo or nothin, but AA and RH make me smile about the future of ND rb.

Amen, SToney. The more these RB's play, and the better Kamara and Tate get, the less this team will be relying on QB. But it's ALL up to the O line.

EXACTLY !! Honest to God, these three RB's look to have AWESOME futures, if the O line grows uo enough to show them off. (And Weis adjusts his play-calling some, to get over his "Brady" fetish)

Add me to the list. With Carlson graduating I need a new romantic interest on the team. :)

Nice to see this thread. I just got home from work, and was able to watch my Tivo replay. Robert Hughes is my new favorite current player. Let's hope there is enough touches for all of these guys, as Aldridge and Allen have the potential to be pretty sweet too.

The bottom line is that Hughes has been breaking tackles, and Aldridge hasn't been doing that. JA has been going down at first contact. Hughes looked a lot like Wells from OSU, IMO. The catch is that Hughes performed well against a 1-10 team. I hope that he sees more of the field next week against stiffer competition.
