I'm happy for Hughes, no doubt. But is it weird for Alex to be reporting and celebrating/congratulating at the same time?

That's good news. Love this guy's running style-at least his last year. Was hoping that he would have been kept on by the Bears last year. Make it RH!

and they would take trent richardson too if hes available when they pick. delighted for Hughes though he'll get a real chance with OTA's and hopefully a full TC to impress.

Really happy for him. He's got a special place in my book for what he did during that drive at USC a couple years ago, and during a difficult personal time for him as well if I remember correctly. I hope he does well for himself.

I'm expecting that to be in the ND125 moments dealio that week.

I was never a huge fan of Hughes, and thought the love affair with him was mostly unwarranted. But, for one game, if was tremendous. He benefited from a wet field to help his momentum, and it was fantastic to watch.

Robert suffered from poor coaching during his first three years and never had a chance. If I remember correctly, he fumbled after a vicious hit as a freshman and didn't play much after that until his senior year with a new coaching staff. By the time they whipped him into shape he had used up his eligibility. Poor coaching; all Weiss was interested in was throwing the ball as they did on the Patriots. Running backs were a nuisance and existed mainly to pick up blitzes, certainly not to advance the offense or control the game. Pure pro-football.

You can say that Weis failed to develop Hughes to his potential, and that's a fair criticism. But you can't say that all Weis did was throw the ball:

2005: 491 rushes, 454 pass attempts
2006: 423 rushes, 471 pass attempts
2007: 437 rushes, 389 pass attempts
2008: 436 rushes, 447 pass attempts
2009: 401 rushes, 447 pass attempts

Weis tried to run a very balanced offense.

I don't think Hughes had any carries today, but he did get to see some game action.

Caught a pass recently in the Colts v Jags game, first time on the stat sheet or no?
