Adams' stiff arm

It's one of the better ones I've seen. He's so long and strong that it's hard to wrap ur arms around him. Just an observation.
One of his strengths besides acceleration and top speed those stiff arms have been very effective often knocking the tackler right back on his backside

I think you may have mentioned that a while back, Toby. Wasn't trying to steal your thunder, just couldn't help but be impressed w/ it. On a number of his big runs, a big stiff arm usually is what launches him.
 
You didn't steal my thunder. You made an accurate observation about our great RB and soon people outside of ND will notice.
 
Hit the hole faster on dive plays is all I see as being weak in his game. He choose his cut back very good on off tackle runs but when the Irish need a plus run on 1st and 10 or whatever he doesn't always attack. Very good year thus far though. He's a good one.
 
He stuck his foot in the ground on the long TD and burst thru the hole like a bullet but I agree that some of our backs may be quicker thru the hole between the tackles. Dex comes to mind. But all in all, he has had a heisman type season. Keep it up, josh!

Maybe I'm unnecessarily over protective as a fan about Josh, but, doggone it, "College Football Live" had a segment on the top RBs and Josh's name or any video of his amazing runs never came up. I understand Maria, David, and "that guy from Michigan" are probably urged to slobber over Barkley and Love, but come on.
 
Agreed, it's ridiculous that he's not getting more ink but all in good time.

Rest up, Irish, the Trojans invade south bend in two weeks. Maybe digger will yell at the pep rally: "if willie fry wants everyone to wear green, then we'll be the green machine!" Go Irish!
 
The USC / ND game is an elimination game. This is our guys time to shine. I'll bet they are excited as hell. I don't think it's a student break so they have to focus on studies and the USC game. Our players are outstanding.
