Hassan Haskins appreciation thread
October 26th, 2019 at 11:42 PM ^
Both main backs looked excellent and McCaffrey looked great in limited action. The future is bright!
October 27th, 2019 at 12:05 PM ^
I’ve come around to the start McCaffrey sentiment, limited time but he's looked decisive.
October 26th, 2019 at 11:43 PM ^
He looked great. Credit to the oline for paving the way as well. My ND fan wife commented on how huge and mauling Onwenu looked.
Great team effort.
October 26th, 2019 at 11:51 PM ^
Did she say Onwenu in a normal voice or was is like drawn out and soothing and kinda high pitched
October 30th, 2019 at 9:40 AM ^
Her response was very breathy.

The OL was doing their job, particularly in the first half, but credit Haskins with making smart cuts and working his stiff arm when the opportunity arose.
October 26th, 2019 at 11:46 PM ^
Man was on a mission!
October 26th, 2019 at 11:49 PM ^
Dude runs like a beast!
October 26th, 2019 at 11:50 PM ^
If we can establish the run like this, we could have some very special offenses in the future.
October 27th, 2019 at 9:36 AM ^
Ruiz was making the right reads. Patterson kept a couple and made them honest. It helps a lot when the center has an outstanding game. Everyone harps on needing elite tackles, but an elite center goes a long way.
October 27th, 2019 at 12:23 PM ^
Great to see Ruiz leading the running backs. Ruiz now playing to his potential.
October 27th, 2019 at 12:18 AM ^
Happy Harry Hardon!
October 26th, 2019 at 11:54 PM ^
Deveon Smith, but shiftier.
October 26th, 2019 at 11:58 PM ^
And faster of course.
October 27th, 2019 at 12:41 AM ^
He reminds me of Brandon Minor - that same "angry" running style.
October 27th, 2019 at 1:02 AM ^
But faster.
October 27th, 2019 at 9:37 AM ^
I feel like Haskins is harder to bring down though. Minor ran angry but would get pulled down by his ankles. Haskins runs through that and weak arm tackles.

I'm a bit older. Class of 1998.
This is a blatant shark jump, but it's my snowflake thought, so who cares, right?
Haskins reminds me of freshman Biakabutuka, circa '93. They both run similar. Angry, violent, upright. Biakabutuka was about 6' 215lbs, so they also look similar. Biakabutuka saw limited time as freshman, but did show glimpses of unstoppability.
October 26th, 2019 at 11:56 PM ^
And here we didn't think we had any good RBs this year. We have two studs.
October 27th, 2019 at 12:07 AM ^
Turner has been pretty damn good too, when he holds on to the football.
October 26th, 2019 at 11:56 PM ^
2 star recruit thought to be headed to Viper. He has taken the opportunity that came with Evans dismissal and ran with it.
October 27th, 2019 at 12:35 AM ^
Literally.
October 27th, 2019 at 8:03 AM ^
I loved seeing Don Brown giving Haskins some love at the end of the game and was thinking the same thing.
October 26th, 2019 at 11:57 PM ^
That was fun if you like a lot rushing yards.
Oline set the tone tonight. Beat Maryland!
October 27th, 2019 at 12:06 AM ^
Who doesn’t like a lot of rushing yards?
October 27th, 2019 at 12:31 AM ^
The Pass Interference Phantom?
October 27th, 2019 at 12:12 AM ^
Haskins tore through ND like they were a bunch of tissues at a snot party.
October 27th, 2019 at 12:17 AM ^
Go blue. Nice job by the OL!
October 27th, 2019 at 12:59 AM ^
Jay MFn Harbaugh, that is all.
October 27th, 2019 at 1:07 AM ^
Haskins and McGrone were my two favorite players to watch tonight.
October 27th, 2019 at 9:07 AM ^
Mine was Ian Book
October 27th, 2019 at 2:48 AM ^
He and Charb are going to make a great tandom next year. Also very nice to see Tru get some great touches as well.
October 27th, 2019 at 4:35 AM ^
Excellent game by the young man! He’s developing nicely!!
October 27th, 2019 at 8:03 AM ^
Haskins ran like a beast. So did Charbonnet. The Oline needs some credit for opening up some gaping holes as well.
October 27th, 2019 at 12:02 PM ^
Great vision on Haskins part...in years past I can remember backs running into the lineman and instead of the holes.
October 27th, 2019 at 12:01 PM ^
Not too bad for a “generic” 3 star. Thunder and thunder with Charbonet.
October 27th, 2019 at 12:28 PM ^
Once an afterthought at RB, now is one of the featured backs playing like a beast. Happy for him.
October 27th, 2019 at 12:29 PM ^
Outstanding Tailback...Have a great career Hassan !
