I was saying this to my kids during the game. An extremely talented recruiting class on top of this. I kept telling them all year that this was basically a rebuilding year, or retooling
Two more years, then, since he wasn't redshirted and didn't take a year off to go to a prep school after high school (like Larry Fitz did). Next year's conference schedule is tough, but the team SHOULD be better, even if James doesn't return. Ed O.
Just a clinic of offense, and the defense did what they had to do to win the game. Next year could be another epic season, but winning THE FUCKING ROSE BOWL FEELS FANTASTIC RIGHT NOW!!!!!
I don't know 5-10 170 pound RB/WR don't really go that high in the draft. I remember a lot of USC fans thought that his best road to the pros was CB.
DAT is DeSean Jackson with a bigger frame and bigger legs. Probably faster as well, and can play more positions. That 91 yard TD run was simply the greatest play in Duck history, IMO, or at least tied with Kenny Wheaton's Pick 6.

Desean Jackson ran a 10.4 100m in high school while Thomas ran a 10.57. So not quite as fast as Jackson concerning top speed but Thomas' acceleration is off the charts. He gets to top speed in a flash. DAT is more similar to Percy Harvin than Jackson IMO.
DAT is a better 200m runner, though, and wasn't coached track at Crenshaw like Jackson was at his fancy private school LB Poly.
Jackson didn't run the 200m. Anyhow, Harvin never had DAT's second gear in college out of the backfield. We're seeing a once in a generation talent.
What's your glitch? DAT ran a 20.61 200m his senior year of HS, which led the nation. Desean Jackson didn't run the event. I assume there is a reason for that, no? Unless you're going to say Jackson could run faster than a 20.61, but just didn't try?
No glitch, you said he was probably faster than Jackson, and I said he's close but not quite as fast. What's your glitch?
I brought stats on the 200m. You brought ... what, exactly? I suppose I can say that I don't know if Jackson is faster at the 200m than DAT, but that seems like a silly opinion given DAT's time in the event, versus Jackson not running it in HS.
Given that Jackson is faster in the 100m it's logical to think he's faster in the 200m as well. Assuming DAT is faster simply because Jackson didn't run the 200m is silly in itself is it not?
No. Not at all. You need to brush up on logic. That's just embarrassingly bad. For example, George Farmer is faster than DAT in the 100m, yet DAT was faster in the 200m when they went head-to-head in HS.
DAT has awesome vision. Straight up game changer. He's got a great understanding of the game and picked up the O system quickly. Kelly is going to have fun in the off-season designing new plays to focus on his strengths.
