The WLOCP was definitely Samuel's career highlight.

A strange career at that. Super hyped 5 star. I think he actually achieved about what he was capable of...he had all the measurables, but was just not a great football player.

Cox was such a mixed bag. Elite 11 recruit. Set all sorts of records in NC. The Colorado comeback is probably my favorite of Cox's.

Idk if I'd agree. I think people may inflate that in their memories since we'd lost to UF 3 years in a row and it felt so good to finally win again. Samuel in that game had 17 carries for 58 yards (3.4 YPC) and the 1 touchdown in the 4th after getting most of the carries on that drive and putting us ahead. His long run of the day was 9 yards.

The arkansas game he had 16 carries for 104 yards (6.5 YPC) and the 1 TD on an 80 yard run.

It's kinda sad that he had so little to choose from in the way of career highlights after being so highly touted but oh well. many felt he should've been a LB from the get go ayway but I think he only came here bc we let him play RB

Samuel was a good football player, He just wasn't a good running back or linebacker. I know that's what we recruited him for but he wind up turning into a running back that just wasn't very good in my opinion. For as big as he was I used to be annoyed that he would just fall by a shoestring tackle.
