How about some love for this guy. Number 2 rusher in the Big 12 and top 20 nationally.

Love Jirehl! I've been a big fan of him since the beginning of the season.... unlike some on here who were calling for Norton to move to #1 after just 3 carries.

Brock has had two great games so far. Yes, he has to hold onto the ball on the 1 yd line, but it's not like he has fumbling issues.... it was just a freak thing.

He could also probably do one less juke sometimes, but it's not much of an issue at all.

He's playing great!

He was averaging 5 ypc until those last two drives when we went into stall mode with the ball. Dude was taking pretty much all of yesterday against the iowa front 7 (shout out to the o line btw- they did awesome yesterday).

Brock was excellent yesterday. I take nothing away from him and the goal line fumble was not totally on him. But I couldn’t help thinking how nice it would’ve been to have Norton inside the 5. Really excited about the Brock/Norton combo.

Brock was had a strong game overall and will be a great back for us. But goal line fumbles are a big deal. This was true of Hall's last year as well.

Norton and Brock will be a great combo

Another year with good skill position talen. Xavier is an All-American, Noel as shifty as we’ve had in years, Dekkers can throw

Yet, 10 points

Agree.... I can't wait to see a lot more of Norton, but I hope we don't rush him back either. Brock, Sanders, and Silas are more than capable of handling the duties until Norton is fully healthy.
