Duke gets no credit

[Zubair ILyas]

Frank Gore and Clinton Portis were pretty good at it.

Portis was excellent as well.

This. He may have been the best.

Duke's a pretty willing pass blocker. The best I saw here was McGahee, though. He tried to end people's careers and he was as big as a lot of college linebackers.

Indeed. I don't remember how good Gore was but in the NFL Gore is an elite pass blocker. He throws everything he has at those guys.

looks like Lu covered it

I miss the days of UM putting an elite RB in the league every 2 or 3 years, and then you'd always hear announcers talking about how the RB is such a great pass blocker, and how all the awesome UM runners in the L are great blockers too.

yep. They were complete backs, not all these overhyped one trick ponies. Our guys were not only talented as ****, they were every down backs. Funny as we stopped churning them out, the every down back has gone by the wayside.

Duke can block!
This was a great game for Duke, considering he had no holes, very impressive running through the tackles.

Best pass blocking back we've had here in my lifetime..so many examples over the years but he took a lot of linebackers head on Saturday and I haven't seen one word about it. Lots of big Kaaya plays don't happen without Duke blowing somebody up.

Cue the gif of him flipping Fowler and all hail the best player we've had in years. O-line, you're taking money out of my boys pocket, you need to get right.

ALSO, teams come in with a full game plan to limit Dukes big plays and that leaves our WR's at good positions. that is why the UL game was such a shame we actually had some deep passes available.
