I agree completely here. Sure the guy has that "home-run threat" potential, but I'm not completely sold on him. After scorching perennial powerhouses
Maryland, Eastern Michigan and Minnesota he seemed to really fall off only registering 100 yards twice in the next 6 games. One was against a pitiful Washington State team and the other came against UCLA (if you take out the 93 yard td, he had 17 carries for 9 yards).
Plus there's that pretty serious concussion he had against Oregon State which could have an impact going forward in his career.
