Newbie who very rarely posted at TOS, but I have to point out the two marvellous blocks by Zeke on Braxton's highlight reel run. Zeke first starts leading the play that looked to be designed to go off tackle and takes out #26 (who goes to the ground). This is just as Miller begins his first cut to the outside. Zeke then gathers, turns and decleats #40 who is closing on Miller from behind the play. This is just as Brax is beginning his spin move.
Would either player have made a play? Maybe or maybe not. But the coaches talk about Zeke's willingness & ability to block but these are clear examples of why he is the best total running back package in college football. The coaches & media should be plugging him for these blocks all season long - not just Braxton's amazing play. The media should be showing this blocking in slow motion every timr they show Braxton making his impossible move.
