This is prety cool! The SB run in slowmo!

Move your finger, and hold the damn camera phone steady!
Wow!!! What a freaken baby!!! Some person uploads this to share and that is all you have? Did you even notice the individual realized his, her finger was momentarily there and it never showed again? Bad nights sleep?
 
That's awesome. Makes it clear that run was made possible by good blocking at the point of the attack and downfield.

To me there are three amazing things that are hard to believe.

1) How does he get around No 7, the safety, who seems to be stride for stride with Barkley - until he isn't.

2) Next he's slowed down by an arm tackle attempt from the db #27, but STILL manages to accelerate faster than the USC players around him.

3) The jump cut when he is bracketed by 4 USC players -- that's Barkley's trademark, I don't think there is anybody else in college football can do that. One instant he's here, the next instant he's 3 yards to the left and there is clear field ahead.
 

Shows Bates, Hamilton, and Thompkins all with key blocks.
Pancakes by Bates and McGovern. McG drove his guy 7 yards down the line.

The quality of those players makes it even more impressive. Smith, Hawkins, Porter, Tell, and Jackson are all Sunday players and Barkley made them look like nothing.
 
This video got me thinking and indeed, I guess with most video players for Windows you can slow down the play back. Secondly, I noticed Chasz Wright (77) did sustain his block long enough for the play to be successful, however, their DT shed him pretty easy, actually knocking him over. How good is their #94? Balance, strength or both issue?

Rasheem Green was a 5* recruit 2 years ago and I think Herbie had him as one of the key players on USC's D before the game
