Jaylan Knighton is “Different” !!!

[TemplarCane]

Duke had some bad fumbles here but is a true Cane so why put it in this thread? FSU comes to mind but that is the past, leave that stuff alone these guys are true freshman. It is refreshing to see Knighton and Chaney rocking out.

Semper Canes!!!

Nonsense. Duke broke his ankle against FSU in 2013, and ran for 130 yards and a TD in 2014. He only had 27 yards in 2012, splitting time with Mike James. Duke had a few fumbles but I do not recall fumbling a chronic problem for him.

Duke had a better history against FSU than Edgerrin James. And we all love Edge. In both case FSU had the better team, often much better.

No doubt that Chaney and Knighton are the best pair of freshmen RBs in college football, and along with Cam, the Canes are one of the only college programs with 3 future NFL RBs on the current roster. I was very impressed with the runs of Knighton and Chaney. They do just look different out there, and they are only freshmen.

If Cam continues to put up big numbers in the run game, he will be in the NFL next season, and Franklin will roll in and keep the stable of RBs full.

Reminds me of the great Graig Cooper

Took me a sec to get that, been awhile since Graig Craig. Lol.

 

[The Franchise]

If Knighton does what Duke did as a freshmans, then we should be very happy. Goofballs constantly looking to tear other great Canes down to prop up new guys.

 

[BoxingRobes]

Reminds me of the great Lee Chambers.

 

[SlimeyChan]

All I can say is “WOW”

he looks like he has the potential to be the next great Cane RB

Duke disappeared in “Big” games. That’s the only red Flagg with duke at UM

Lol man Duke was the only one who showed up during those days.

 

[Odysseus]

Chaney and knighton are their own type of phenoms that can house it at any point in the game

 

[JgDaCane]

Imagine taking a shot at Duke Johnson.

Brother, with all due respect, that is one bad comparison. Duke had legit NFL lineman and Edge had guys like Greg Laferre up front but no knock on Greg. And oh and btw he still fumbled at a crucial time in that FSU game and Edge did not.

Semper Canes!!!

Why do y'all always do this? If you're going to insult the greatness that is Randy..You need to at least use his full name of "Miami Hurricanes All-Time rushing yards leader Duke Johnson". These highly talented young backs have shown a lot of promise against Alabama Birmingham, but let me remind you what Duke Johnson did in game 1 as a true freshman.

 

[canes732]

Duke Vs VTech he had multiple big games a giant them

 

[SWFLHurricane]

Did you not see the burst from Chaney when he flew outside the left tackle? I know everybody's on Roosters tip, rightfully so, but I think cats are really sleeping on Chaney. He was out due to his injury in the spring, so rooster got a jump on him. The combination of his speed and size is undeniable.

I couldn't agree more....Looked like a CFB Jr....

 

[Go Canes!!]

You’re the runaway favorite for porster of the year honors.

Congrats, keep on being you and no one can possibly keep up.

Fair enough.

I do think bashing Duke while pumping Knighton’s one game is inappropriate.

 

[theibisrules]

I 100% remember at least 3-4 big games where Duke didn’t show up.

The FSU one where he got his ankle busted sticks in my mind....that fumble and that feeble attempt to recover it was really weak.

Great memory...but, boston college is not a big game.

Never insinuated that. But if we calling someone better because of how they looked after game 1, I'm assuming people forgot what Duke looked like in game 1.

Breaking your ankle is ‘not showing up’?

You guys suck. I feel sorry for you. Nothing better to do but trash one of the top 2-3 players the program has had in the last decade. All-time leading rusher at a school with a lot of top running backs.
