He runs so much bigger than his 5’9 165 frame.  There were so many times when he was moving the pile forward for extra yards.  He’s also a very instinctual runner that  sets up his blocks and anticipates the holes opening up.  What’s really amazing is that he did all of this against an elite defense.  

Feed Battie the ball going forward. 

Go Bulls!

and I think the coaches know that now. While I love Mangham, I think Brian and Dukes are better.

 

I need to rewatch Batties long run where he got caught.  I didn't think the DB got him cause of his angle, Shocked me he got caught

I thought the same thing. Who the hell was that DB? That guy has some wheels!

There were quite a few times i thought no way he gains yards and sure enough... he squeaks through. Very impressed by him.

To think that by Oct 1, or at latest the 8th at Cincinatti, we will have Joiner back, Horn should be healthy- two huge weapons on offense that will help spread the field out for the passing game to improve. If this team can continue their trajectory AAC play will be a fun time.

He certainly is.  It was so great to watch him pick his way through.  But at 165# someone needs to feed him some biscuits and gravy.

Really impressed with his play from day 1.  He has been a highlight.

Mangham is the short yard bruising back.
