RB Lamar "Bo" Jackson (Official Thread)

Good work, Lydell.

I'm not sure I'd want him to try to run through a doorway in a burning house carrying my grandmother/puppy/child/etc., though. "Come on, Lydell, the doorway is open, but the roof is about to collapse! You can make it." BAM [Sound of Lydell missing the hole and running into door jam] :biggrin:

Just kidding, this time. Tampa is lucky to have him down there.

I may have to search the BP archives, but I remember cracking myself up writing about Lydell trying to rush in to put out a fire, running into the door frame, knocking himself out and the building burning down.
The first post was from Lydell’s thread in 2007.

There's some recency bias at play with MoC comparisons. If he'd played three seasons, he'd be our #2 behind Archie. BJ2 notched 108 and 109 in consecutive games as a freshman against Grambling and OU. That's fantastic and we definitely need it, but he's not anywhere near MoC: 175 yds and 3 TDs against Texas Tech in the opener and set up two more that even Lydell Ross could manage to punch in and then 230 yds and 2 TDs against Washington State.
I remember being in the stadium chanting Maurices name, like we used to chant Eddies - it was awesome - so not arguing against your point - Mo *was* different and they aren't the same style but Mo did have 52 carries in those two games Bo has had 18 in these two games.

Mo averaged 8.3 and 7.4 yards per carry in this games. Bo is averaging 12.0 and 12.1.

I'm not saying Bo is Mo, but something about him reminds me of him I must admit.
