Tank Bigsby: who does he remind me of

[PSU Soupy]

Was struggling to think of who Tank reminds me of as a runner:

For PSU people the two closest that I could come to was Aaron Harris and Tony Hunt......he runs like Curtis Enis but Enis was 235 lbs. not the listed 210 lbs. for Tank.

I was struggling to think of a "power back" that played at 210 lbs. In the pros perhaps Terrell Davis? Davis was close to Tanks size and had a similar running style....

Bigsby was impressive....... interesting to see how his style plays the rest of his career at AU and then in the pros.....he is going to have a lot of wear on his body when going pro.....lots of hard hits.

 

[Mister Magoo]

He’s powerful. A little like Todd Gurley or Chubb. A couple of UGA backs

 

[fkkkjm]

He’s lighter than both of those guys, but faster it seems. I’d say the closest Penn State comp I can think of is a slightly larger Miles Sanders. Not a ton of moves, but quick with good speed and power.

Good pick with Sanders......maybe stronger in the hole than Sanders....

Tank is dam good. So happy they didn’t give him the rock 10 more times last night and they could have.

No idea but that dude is ridiculous. And a hell of a workhorse…..never slowed down and given Bo’s shotty play, you could easily argue that they didn’t run him enough. Fine by me though.

The thing is he was a known commodity from his performance in their first two games and we still could not stop him the kids a hell of a player.

 

[HazletonLion]

Reminded me of Blair Thomas in some of PSU old possession drives.

 

[eilion]

Le'Veon Bell. Patient, one cut, then explodes.

Larry Johnson

 

[NewEra 2014]

He is one of the best backs Penn State has faced in recent years, and he has an absolutely great name for a football player. I hope he has a tremendous season in the SEC.

 

[Obliviax]

Emmitt smith.

 

[bison13]

Guess I've watched too much Dave chapelle but every time I heard 'bigsby' I thought of clayton bigsby.

 

[lazydave841]

Hunter was just as impressive. He has take it for 6 speed every touch.

 

[africamurphy]

Hunter was a great back too...but Bigsby has "it." Not sure why didn't get more touches. But so, so glad that he didn't. He slipped right through our tacklers arms...and fast...and elusive. I think he'll be a 2nd round pick and an NFL starter from day 1 (if he stays healthy this year and next).

 

[BobPSU92]

Herschel Walker. Hyped sec back PSU beat.

23 carries. 1 reception. His backup was averaging more yards per carry than him, so you can't really fault that.

Location of usage on the field, perhaps, was more of an issue.

And I think we forced Nix to throw more than they wanted. There avg 3rd down distance to gain was probably over 7, but I don't know where to find that off hand. Only a guess.

 

[Psugo823]

Emmitt smith.

Yep. That's who I thought also. By the way he is the best rb in the nation and that includes the Ohio St freshman and the kid from Iowa, and the kid from Michigan st.

Good choice…absolutely reminded me of TD…kinda slides through the hole and punishes somebody 5-6 yards downfield.
