The cream has risen, Boomer. Harris is already #8 on the career rushing list, could well be # 5 in the next 2 weeks, with still a season and a half to go.

Speaking of cream rising.... Peanut is the creme` de la creme`... not a better person or player to rep our school.

Random fact. Tillman and Brian Dawkins are the only NFL players with at least 35 Int. and 35 force fumbles. Tillman only need one more forced fumble and 5 more Int.'s and he will be alone in the 40/40 club with no current player remotely close. Those are some HOF numbers there.

Let me further expand: I rest my case.

You can't expand and rest in the same post. It's against the rules!

Yes VOB---but barring injuries he (Harris) will not get the carries that McGuire will be getting as McG he goes on to be the Belt and State Freshman of the year along with HM all American Freshman!!! How that for a prediction??? Wonder if BWK has my back??? lol

No offense, guys, but I want some of what ya'll are smoking. We have only seen McGuire in three games; in two of which he saw very limited action with modest results [10 carries, 30 yards], and one against badly over-matched competition in which he looked great. It is a bit early to be promoting him for the Heisman.

Is he likely to be a very good, even great, player for us? Absolutely. But how about we withhold judgment on his talent until we have a better sample of his work?

We currently have a back who has 1786 rushing yards in 358 attempts [4.99 yd/carry] for a career that is currently 2 seasons and 3 games old. [In the Arkansas and KSU games Harris had 23 carries for 130 yards, 5.65 yards/carry .] That puts Harris on pace to be the second leading rusher in school history with many fewer carries than anyone close to him on the list. Let us not be so quick to throw him in the dumpster.

You might want to remember that in that game against over-matched competition that Harris played exactly 3 plays, toting the rock twice for 75 yards. Do you not think that he could have easily had 200-250 yards rushing if he had had 20 carries? Or to put it in perspective, do you not think that in 7 more carries he would have had at least another 62 yards to match McGuire's output?

THANK YOU!!!! If you listened to some of the people on this board we consistently have 10-12 future NFL players on the team.
