It was a hell of a run, but it's not close to herschel's.

-It was our first game of the year, nobody knew about herschel. It was everyone's first exposure to him, unlike pretender LF who threw up the heisman pose after rushing for like 70 yards against a 1AA team
-He trucked bates, then ran through 2 others into the endzone, no bounce out
-LF lowered a shoulder that knocked the guy down, then ran to the left. Herschel squared up and flat out ran straight OVER bates. Far more a show of dominance
-We were down 15-0 at the time

fantastic run, but not on herschel's level

Also Bill bates was a pro bowler.

It was a nice poor man's version of that play, though.

Wouldn't put LF in the same sentence with Herschel much less Chubb
He's big and fast with horrible vision and runs with a very high center
of gravity. One of the most overrated players in the conference IMO

A poor mans Tim Worley at best.

Bill Bates was slipping and lost his balance on that Herschel play
