Hell yea!! Damn good dog! Damn good article! That article pretty much validated every post I've made in here for the last 6 months relating to UGA football. Especially noted is the discussion from this past week with a vol fan about making comparisons between Moreno and 34.

"Every time a great young back emerges on the college football scene, someone says, 'he may be the next Herschel Walker'. Fact of the matter, I don't think we will ever see the likes of Herschel again. At 225 pounds with 4.2 speed in the 40, Walker was simply a once in a life-time running back and had he not bypassed his senior year at Georgia for the new USFL, he would have established collegiate records that would likely never be broken," Poole stated. "That said, Knowshon Moreno could be the most electrifying tailback in Athens since No. 34. Moreno doesn't have Herschel's speed and power but he has enough of both to make a run for both All-America honors and the Heisman Trophy. And what he maybe does have over Walker is great vision and an ability to see the field and make people miss. The two are different type running backs but are both deserving of the word 'greatness'."
