Jamaal is pretty good
This from the NCAA
Rank Name Team Cl Position G Rush Rush Yds Rush TD
1 Donnel Pumphrey San Diego St. Sr. RB 4 98 750 8
2 Jamaal Williams BYU Sr. RB 5 109 703 8
3 Lamar Jackson Louisville So. QB 5 92 688 14
4 Aaron Jones UTEP Jr. RB 5 96 660 5
5 Dalvin Cook Florida St. Jr. RB 5 107 635 7
6 Brian Hill Wyoming Jr. RB 5 116 629 7
Jamaal is the second leading rusher in the nation in total yards
He sure looked good last game. Excellent timing on his bursts of speed. Fun to watch how he tries to get every last inch of space, almost refusing to go down.

Re: Jamaal is pretty good
One thing I noticed watching the replays is how often he'd use the o-line/d-line's positions to keep the scouting linebacker out of the play. The line would be blocking one guy, with a linebacker in the hole waiting for Jamaal, and he'd get the guy coming for him and then scoot around the outside of the other two players with the linebacker now stuck on the other side. He did it multiple times and usually picked up a lot of yards afterward. I'm sure most RBs are coached to do this but his timing was perfect almost every play he did it.

Re: Jamaal is pretty good
When was the last time we had someone in the top 10 in rushing? We are used to having our qbs at the top of the stats but not a running back. If he can keep healthy and the line can keep blocking reasonably well he will make a lot of money next year. Jamaal is not the only one high in NCAA standings. Kai Nacua is tied with 3 others for first in interceptions with 4. Both of these guys are going to have to be planned for and I hope the team can take advantage of it.

Re: Jamaal is pretty good
What is the single season rushing record? Jamaal has a shot, I would think.

Jamaal would have to get 880 yards over the next 7 games to surpass that -- 126 yards per game, or 110 per game if you include the bowl game.
Note, though, that Staley set that record in only 10.5 games--he went out of the Miss St game and didn't play in the last game or bowl game (bowl game wouldn't have counted anyways---bowl games only counted toward official stats starting in 2002).

Staley was also out during the New Mexico game too in 2001.snoscythe wrote:Staley's 1,582.TulaneVandyRiceCoug wrote:What is the single season rushing record? Jamaal has a shot, I would think.

Re: Jamaal is pretty good
Yes, but because BYU had 13 regular season games, he still played in ~10.5 games.frdbtr wrote:Staley was also out during the New Mexico game too in 2001.

Re: Jamaal is pretty good
880 over 8 games, and needing 110 including the bowl, (BYU is totally going bowling), seems doable. Especially with the November schedule.
Stay healthy JSwagg. Pleeeeeeease stay healthy! Oh man, I would love the highlight reel to include some big runs on the smurf turf.

Re: Jamaal is pretty good
Where does Jamaal finish on these lists?
Rushing Yards
Harvey Unga, 3,455
Jamaal Williams, 3,229
Rushing Attempts
Harvey Unga, 696
Curtis Brown, 641
Jeff Blanc, 625
Lakei Heimuli, 605
Jamaal Williams, 601
Rushing Touchdowns
Luke Staley, 41
Harvey Unga, 36
Jamal Willis, 36
Jamaal Williams, 31
My predictions, he'll be atop all three lists. He'll finish with over 700 rushes, more than 4,000 yards and he'll score close 45 rushing touchdowns before he finishes.
