His combination of power, speed, blocking ability, and catching ability is something else. They kept showing his hurdle, which was super impressive (the landing was crazy soft also) but they didn't show what he did at the end of that run in planting at USC defender.
I don't know about comparing, but I get the same anticipation when he takes a handoff as I did when Reggie Brooks took one. Off the top of my head, I think Reggie was something like 8.0 yards per carry, but I could be way off.
That being said, we are incredibly blessed to have JD Price also. Losing a weapon like Love would normally be devastating in a close game like this, but having JD come in and have 100 yards on 8 carries and being the home run threat he is, was crucial.
Back to the real heroes being O Line. I am an O Line coach, so I know where the real magic happens. Not to take anything away from the backs, but the O Line has a lot more to figure out each play than the backs do. If the O Line doesn't do their job, the same stud backs are 10 carries for 22 yards. Not taking anything away from our stud backs, but to just give massive credit to our O Line, TE's, coach Rudolph and his assistants!
