How good is Jarek Broussard (Pac-12 OPOY good)

[Buffnik]

I think he’s right about Mangham needing to find a rhythm. Problem is there aren’t enough footballs to waste while he finds that rhythm and Broussard only needs two or three carries before he goes beast mode.

Not unusual for bigger backs to need reps to get going.

Also, it can be very effective for the rotation at RB to be different styles. Defenses also get into a rhythm, so when a RB comes in and brings a different pace to the same play it can keep them off balance.

You know, Clayton didn't seem to need any warm up touches for a bigger back.

A big reason I think Clayton may be unusual - potentially special.

I'm certainly highly intrigued. Welcome back to the football forum btw

I told you - I'm a bandwagon football fan now.

Maybe that's what we needed to get decent again

That’s what she said!

wink wink, nudge nudge, say no more, say no more

This is what I came here to say. He's missing that 4th gear right now. It's coming. He's a mixture of speedy and Lindsay. If he finds another gear...

where have you been? its at least 6th gear

 

[lvbuff]

He's very good. But this OL is one of the best we've ever fielded IMO...at least since the early 2000s

I said most physical o-line since gurode and Rogers and got blasted.

CU Buffs’ Jarek Broussard earns Pac-12 weekly honor

Jarek Broussard is putting up numbers that haven’t been seen at Colorado ever, and he’s not even at full strength. “I’m telling you, you haven’t (seen him at 100 percent),” CU head coach Karl Dorre…

Interesting note that he is now just the fourth player since 1996 in the FBS to rush for 100-plus yards in his first four career games.

???

He just keeps on breaking records of all-time greats

I’m not sure exactly, but DAMN is it awesome seeing that gold helmet break through the line of scrimmage over and over and over and freaking over again. **** man, gives me the damn championship chills.
Not sure the O line got the credit it deserved this weekend. But the O line will have to get it done this week Friday to prove it outright.

Broussard is the PAC 12 Player of the week!

And it bears noting (again) that he was thrust directly into conference play.

Only thing I would add is that tackling quality seems to be lower this year with covid.

It's been well documented that the virus targets those muscles most essential for tackling.

I thought defenses were simply practicing social distancing. No one wants to get within 6 feet of Broussard.

Some of his runs on Saturday reminded me of this:

is that a nickname in the making -

They call him "Covid" - cause no one can get within 6 feet of him - haha

Quote from Hagan today. Let the Clayton hype train begin.

On how other running backs are doing: “I like everything that I see from the running backs. I think Ashaad (Clayton) is a perfect 1-2 punch with J-Bru and all the backs are gonna play. We’re confident that we can get guys reps and they won’t mess it up. So you’ll see a lot of guys doing things but Ashaad, he’s going to be really special.”

He looked like a very good runner in those four carries. Patiently let his blocks set up, picked his hole, etc.

I wonder why there were not any highlights from the Utah game? Oh, that's right, we pussied out and decided before the game we wouldn't be able to run on them. SMFH.

Wish he wouldn't have been eligible for this, but shows the work he must have put in to come back so strong - big congrats to him!
