Mikel Leshoure

One thing that has not really been discussed on this thread is the play of Leshoure. Leshoure is a stud. He's a beast. He is going to carry our offense this year. If we had a halfway decent O-line he would lead the Big Ten in rushing. He was absolutely dominant in the first half. He was the key in both our long drives. He can get 4,5,6 yards on first down no problem. It was perfect for a freshman QB to be given very manageable 2nd and 3rd down scenarios. He is falling forward on EVERY tackle.
