I absolutely love that run, but I can't appreciate it without seeing the effort that Lorenzo Styles, Mayer, and Avery Davis all give down the field. Styles probably gets away with two blocks in the back putting two guys on their asses and nearly a 3rd, Mayer is blocking his guy halfway down the field, and AD is outrunning everyone to keep anyone from getting angles on Kyren and catching him. As great as Kyren's effort is on that run, he doesn't break free without those 3 guys doing what they did.

No idea, haven't checked yet. Biggest disappointment for me after a pretty stellar freshman year. I thought he'd be the one to take off. He was a bright spot when our other receivers got shut down during the Fiesta Bowl 2nd half. He was a tremendous blocker on running plays (Put USC guys on their ass too) and he showed more consistent hands than Austin and Lenzy that year. For whatever reason, I don't know if it was having Pyne at QB or if he was injured, but Styles completely fell off and had a Sophomore slump. I thought he was going to pick up right where he left off. Maybe it was the Stuckey effect and he was smoking too much weed that 2nd year.

[EDIT] I show he's still 2nd string for the Buckeyes with 8 total tackles, 5 solo in 5 games played, 1 pass deflection.

It's Tommy Rees at OC as well. That team went to the playoff hanging it's hat on its blocking.

It was the first play of a huge game. I think of Kyren because I was well on the way to browning out during overtime and blacked out shortly after the game. I was losing my shit when he destroyed that angle, and showed why very few white guys play DB in the NFL.

I get people like the speedsters but I would've thought by now people would just appreciate guys who are good at football. That said he has far surpassed my wildest dreams, much less expectations.

Glad he's doing well. Hopefully he can get a nice contract and make some hay. RB's usually aren't for long in the NFL.

I'm biased I know that but don't tell me he's not a top 5 running back in the league right now.

Legit complete package.

Mcvay has a lot to do with it too

I agree, he has become a complete package and steal for the Rams in the 5th round.

He's a scoring machine.

I was more disturbed by the lack of a coherent speech by that dude. Regardless, good for Kyren!

Well deserved, he was fun to watch at ND and he has been a TD machine in the league this season.

I don't follow the NFL
But I do check in on some of our guys

Kyren has 29 carries last night? That seems like a ton by NFL standards,no?

Never ever would have thought he'd be a workhorse back in the NFL. But here he is proving me wrong yet again, like always

29 carries 2 weeks in a row. It was raining in San Fran so they had to rely on the run. 49ers knew it was coming and Kyren still consistently churned out 3-4 yards in a grind fest.
