Barry J!
That TD run was just plain nasty. This game may have had more great jukes than any single game in Stanford history; Love and McCaffery both had some excellent shake/bake going on today, but I think the Sanders TD run was the most filthy.
It may have seemed that way, dabigv, but I am told that he isn't very good. He sure fooled me on that run. And he had another shorter beauty earlier.

Barry J has some good jukes but he lacks a gear that would give him breakaway speed. But my sense is that the RB rotation going forward will largely be McC, Wright, and Love. Sanders will be lucky to get 10 snaps a game. But he's still getting a Stanford degree.

Breakaway speed is not a feature, true. But I don't think there is anyone on the team with more ability to make defenders miss. I understand the apparent limitations in his game and am comfortable with his diminished role in the offense. However, I think some people have overreacted and now do not give Barry his proper due.
