Hart/Purdue vs. Smith/BYU

Pretty Simple - which Miraculous "He's not down? What?!" touchdown run do you prefer?

Both players show incredible balance somehow maintaining their feet through a mess, both had people going "He's still up?", both broke another tackle on their way to the end zone. So which one is your favorite? In looking at these, I watched a lot of Mike Hart runs, and I have to say that while I LOVE the agression Smith runs with - I think Hart's balance was equal or better than Smith, and there's just something about the way Hart could teleport three feet to the side and make a sure tackler completely whiff that few people ever see. I'm biased from watching all these highlights, but I still give the edge to Hart.

I'm as excited and optimistic about the present and future as the next guy... But aside from maybe these two unlikely/impressive runs, there is no comparing these backs. Deveon Smith has had a nice start to the season... The best start since Fitz went over 1K for the season, but Mike Hart is one of the greatest backs in our storied program's history. Let's pump the brakes on the superlatives/comparisons until #4 puts together a whole season, or at least leads the team in rushing in consecutive games!

It's not supposed to compare the backs, just the runs.

I get that was the initial plan or idea... Just felt like people were starting to go a little overboard and compare their abilities as well... It's probably being carried over from other threads with me as well. Sorry, I don't mean to be a party pooper.
