Great pic. I was suprised to see Jonas pull away like that...

 

[NDPhilly]

Jonas' recruiting profile does say he has 4.44 speed FWIW

he was 213 out of HS now he is 230, looks like he kept some speed.

 

[Riddickulous]

Jonas is averaging 9.3 yards per carry this year.

 

[arrowryan]

LOL at the face plant by the pitt defender

 

[crzychris]

Props to Jonas for that studly run. He'll be remembering that one for a long time.

 

[Irish2015]

I believe that's Jonas first TD. Also when was the last time we had a run that long for a touchdown. I've been watcing faithfully for 6 years and that's the first I remember.

go back to Rocket or Bettis against UF in the sugar bowl.

I'm glad Jonas was able to exorcise some demons and rip off that big run, it was beautiful. The South Florida fumble still hurts, but he helped put us up on Pittsburgh with that big run. There were something like 4-5 broken tackles on that play, although a few were lunges to grab his shoes from behind in a last ditch effort. Was very cool to see though.

I was telling my wife it has been at least a decade since we had one of those.

Jonas Gray 79-yd TD run is longest Irish run since Terrance Howard went for 80 vs. West Virginia in 2000

That's a retweet from Brian Hardin.

 

[FLDomer]

There should be a thought bubble coming out of Jonas' hemlet saying " SEE YA IN HELL MOTHER F%$&#*S!!!"

 

[OlympiaIrishFan]

That was so fun to watch, congrats to him and the team on that.

Go Irish!

Lynch and Tuitt

 

[anarin]

I remember clearly it being said Jonas could be the fastest RB on the team. It showed on that run.

There's a name I'd all but forgotten -- one would think a long run from that era would be courtesy of Julius Jones.

Gray's run had me thinking back to a really long Joey Goodspeed touchdown against Arizona State, though I'm not sure it was quite of the 79-yard variety.

It was a 60 yard run by Goodspeed and it set up the final touchdown.

Jonas has carried the ball 25 times so far this year. His previous high for a season was as a sophmore with 34.

Lynch and Tuitt

I have to say I reeally love this pic! The Duo of Devastation, nxt stop Robert Marves face!

 

[rikkitikki08]

I remember going nuts during this play. I didnt know he had it in him, he kept those knees high when he hit the 20.....really crazy looking running style

 

[HawaiianIrish]

GONE!!!!!!

When I saw that title I figured HCTI had a picture of Crist holding up a "6-1" sign.







Hang in there Dayne!



Nice run, Jonas!

 

[GBdomer]

Glad it took Jonas 5 years for the light to come on.

 

[Old Man Mike]

I thought that the way Jonas "high-stepped" had nothing to do with his normal running style, but showed his amazing "jock-ism" to sense the DBs coming behind and diving at him, and deliberately high-stepping to make a shoestring tackle harder to pull off. I was stunned by that awareness and athleticism.

I guess I would phrase my happiness for Jonas by saying it a little differently: "I'm glad that although it took Jonas several years, the light came on."


And on Lynch and Tuitt: my over-the-top optimism for the future of the program came at that HS All-Star game, when a writer said that Tuitt's powerful push drove the quarterback "into the waiting arms of Aaron Lynch". Silly, but that image struck so "true" that I could see the greatest DE duo of recent times terrorizing and destroying offenses for Notre Dame for the foreseeable future. These two guys, and I've added Big Lou afterwards, stand at the core of my future image of us as a true contender in another year or two.

The coverage during that All-Star game made me very discouraged. It was hard to read the "what could have been" when referring to Lynch (who had de-committed), Tuitt (who had also de-committed), and Williams (who seemed like a long shot). Then the unthinkable happened and we landed all three. "Over-the-top optimism" barely begins to describe my feelings about the potential of this defensive front. These behemoths are already making their presence felt as 18 yr old frosh (and we're only 4 games into the season).

It's about time we have a true bad *** back in the blue and gold. This kid has the ability to truly strike fear into QBs.
