Tough as nails. Incredible balance. Glad we put them in the rear view mirror.

Re: Theis
Especially when the refs let him go to a knee and then get up and keep running...

Re: Theis
Was easily the best running back we've seen. 6th year senior, major respect for him. Every time the camera panned in close on him during the game he had a smirk on his face it looked like!

Re: Theis
I don’t recall seeing a RB at this level that had that combination of toughness, quickness and speed.
Absolutely wouldn’t go down on first contact, had great lateral quickness and when he did get into the open he had some serious break away speed.

Re: Theis
Danny Woodhead clone. Gave me flashbacks that were not pleasant, but a way better outcome. 

The State of Montana is Bobcat country.

I knew he was physical but he was both quicker and faster than I thought.

Re: Theis
Nope, bigger than Larison. I'd say he's a poor man's Toby Gerhart, stud RB from Stanford about a decade ago that got robbed of a Heisman.GoldstoneCat wrote: ↑Sun Dec 22, 2024 8:47 amI knew he was physical but he was both quicker and faster than I thought.

Eric Curry STILL makes me sad.

Re: Theis
I would have compared him to a faster version of Cody Kirk. He seemed to have that great power, churn of the legs, and sense of balance that Cody had… just with the ability to outrun people.

Yes he was special. His balance was incredible. I kept yelling over and over “tackle that sombitch. Easier said than done as we all witnessed.

Re: Theis
That’s just how you signal you need a break, and the way he ran, I don’t blame him for needing a break.
