Didn’t like his fumble but he acquitted himself nicely.What a great run!! This kid's gonna be good!
Agree with poster further below. Stud!What a great run!! This kid's gonna be good!
The initial cutback was incredibly impressive, and, the follow up was what made the difference on the play.What a great run!! This kid's gonna be good!
Walter PaytonHe has a very unique running style. I'm trying to think who he reminds me of.
I like that he runs hard...he finishes runs.He has a very unique running style. I'm trying to think who he reminds me of.
A genuine legend and one of my all-time favorites...blessed to have had the chance to meet him when I was younger, and, it was literally a dream come true.Walter Payton

Prolly before your time....Mockobee has some #25 FB Scott Dierking (1970s) to his game.The initial cutback was incredibly impressive, and, the follow up was what made the difference on the play.
He has some Horvath to his game, and, even some Alstott with respect to setting up runs, and, finishing.
Props to him for taking advantage of the opportunity that he is getting, and, he has had some impressive runs...had one against Syracuse, and, had a couple today...kid runs hard for sure, and, that little bit of shiftiness is nice...as well as some patience.
I don't remember him at Purdue much admittedly, but, I remember him in the NFL, and, I know for sure how good he was at Purdue and what has been said or written about him as such (and, I remember his son very well playing for Purdue much later as a RB). That could be a good comparison though.Prolly before your time....Mockobee has some Scott Dierking to his game.
He reminds me of Robert Smith in the way he runs...He has a very unique running style. I'm trying to think who he reminds me of.
part of the Dierking - Skibinski back field.Prolly before your time....Mockobee has some #25 FB Scott Dierking (1970s) to his game.
Mockobee is better than dierking. He’s bigger, faster and more elusive. I really can’t think of a Purdue comparison. Maybe Floyd Little of the Denver Bronchos for you old timers.I don't remember him at Purdue much admittedly, but, I remember him in the NFL, and, I know for sure how good he was at Purdue and what has been said or written about him as such (and, I remember his son very well playing for Purdue much later as a RB).

I can see that to some extent...as, similar running style...that said, Robert Smith was pretty stellar...a guy that was never given the appropriate due probably because of his not being flashy or a guy that was big on getting attention.He reminds me of Robert Smith in the way he runs...
He is good.What a great run!! This kid's gonna be good!

Not around for Alstott?I think that may have been the best run I’ve ever seen by a Purdue RB in my life. Looked like 4.5 instead of 4.37 Reggie Bush
He did that every game.
My all time favorite Boilermaker. Jon Goldsberry was my favorite special team player. Loved how he would destroy the wedge on kickoffs.The A-Train was something else when he got a head of steam.....mercy.
I was like 11 then and those were the first games I ever went to. When this thought occurred to me I thought immediately Alstott had a bunch of incredible runs. But Purdue was awful then and things are just different now I guess in that we have a team that can win games and you’re watching every snap. I’ll be a prisoner of the moment here. Best run ever.Not around for Alstott?
That is fair, but, Alstott definitely had better runs...regardless, that run today was indeed special...never mind incredibly important and timely.I was like 11 then and those were the first games I ever went to.

More so in that he was about all Purdue had...opposing defenses knew that he was going to get it, prepared as such, stacked boxes and whatever else, and, STILL had virtually no chance of actually stopping the guy.The A-Train was something else when he got a head of steam.....mercy.
Not with Jim Colletto as HCThat was a heck of a backfield with Corey Rogers and Alstott (Chicago connection):
1993 - Rogers 746 yards 4 TDs
Alstott 816 yards 12 TDs 407 receiving 2 TDs
1994 - Rogers 764 yards 10 TDs
Alstott 1188 yards 14 TDs
1995 - Rogers 424 yards 8 TDs
Alstott 1436 yards 11 TDs
Talk about ball control. We should have been in a few bowls during that era.
Speed in the backfield is really a game changer. I have no idea what his top speed really is, but 4.5 seems accurate. He also has some quickness and shiftiness to him that is great. All of that being said, his greatest asset IMO is his vision and ability to set up the blocks.I think that may have been the best run I’ve ever seen by a Purdue RB in my life.
