On offense, Rex had a good comeback game. Had a shaky start but finished well. That's tough to do. Fred Davis, Moss, TH, and Helu.

I've posted this before, but I went to the VaTech/Nebraska game a couple years ago. Watched their running back just tear it up. Didn't know who he was til that day but I was very impressed. He played against a pretty good VaTech D too. Obviously it was Helu Jr. I was very happy we drafted him then and he was great yesterday.

I've known about Helu since I watched that game as well. When I was watching him tear up Tech's d I couldn't help but think, "why can't we have a guy like that in a Skins uni." This was before Shanny's time of course, but when I heard we drafted him I was excited, and I've been excited since. He's the type of burner Portis never was while he was here.

You are correct. But Helu reminds me of the youthful Portis in Denver - quick feet, can accelerate rather than decelerate through cuts, and speed to burn.
