I was super emotional after this game. My father and I were going through the roller coaster that was the 4th quarter. It's the only game he and I have ever watched together from the stands.
Those are memories that we all love
He was sort of weird as a runner, kind of a long strider, but he was also big enough that he could do well on the first man on screens and hitches. Not sure who Iowa has had that was most similar.
He was much more natural strider than Calvin Davis ever was. Davis was fast as hell but didn’t have football speed at all.
His run against Minnesota that year was awesome. Was right after Marc Jones said he was working Minnesota like a part time job.
The Kirk eras biggest what-if player.
I forgot that he was finally looking good in the Michigan State game his senior year when he got hurt for the second time. He had actually looked generally great coming off an ACL tear the year before, then looked sluggish early in 2004, played well briefly one game and was done.

Purdue marched down the field right after that before Adolphus Shelton got his 15 minutes of fame.
That game was fuckin crazy. I missed every second of it.
