Just watched the game again. It was amazing watching Riddick. He always ran north and south. He shook off linebackers and defensive ends behind the line of scrimmage, turning losses into gains. He made the first guy at the next level-sometimes a LB sometimes a safety- miss time and again. Then, once three guys had him downfield he still fought for yards. He caught everything thrown to him. He is a nightmare for D-coordinators who have to choose between three linebackers or two in trying to defend ND. There isn't a linebacker in the country that can hang with him on a pass route. I'd like to see him utilized more inside the 10 yard line.
yea...he has really come on strong. I remember Kelly saying he was going to be a special player...and I could see flashes...but never consistent. I think what Kelly saw is finally translating to the field on game day.
As some have alluded...theo was like a video game player Saturday...what guy can go in reverse that fast, or go into a spin move with balance and control w/one freakin step...he is special.
