I honestly don't know what more one could want in a running back than Nall. He is not just an obscene combination of size and speed (which is significant enough by itself). He can change direction very well, and he has excellent vision; on many of his runs Friday, you could see that he started towards the designed gap, but the defense had it clogged up, and he quickly switched to a different hole, or changed completely from heading to the left side, to darting through the right. Watching 4 years of Storm Woods made me forget what it was like to see a running back that runs to daylight, wherever it may be.
To my untrained eye, I don't see why you would play him anywhere else; he's a fantastic running back, and somebody that we can build a program around for the next 3 years.
GO BEAVS!

Nall has all the qualities of a feature/power back, one that will wear down defenses as the game goes on. Collins as a Kordell Stewart/Black Mamba light type of athlete (lining up who knows where, but that is the fun part) and Lucas as a change of pace/3rd down back makes for a formidable backfield.
Both Lucas and Collins would scare the daylights out of me as a RB who can flex out and get one on one coverage with a safety...or a LB.

To be fair to Storm Woods, we saw the REAL Storm Woods one time... in 2012 when he was a RS freshman. The guy spend his next 3 years fighting a variety of injuries or terrible OL performance (2013). Which is too bad because I think a lot of potential was there, and the dude sure did have heart. Nall is going to be for us like Toby Gehart was for Stanford, and I don't just say that because they are both white. Workhorse, huge, hard running and tackle breaking. Nall just lacks the "moves". He won't be juking a defender out of his jock anytime soon... he'll just run him over. and I like that. We can find change up guys that can make people miss. |

J/K, you're right on target. |
