Himon speed

He doesn’t just look fast, he is fast :

That's Tyus fast....

Heard about it forever, but finally got to see it last game with his breakaway TD. Might see a few more this season. Could be real effective catching screens. Exciting player.

Gotta find more ways to get Himon the ball in space!

I would love to see some 2 back sets where he shifts to a slot, from which he could go downfield, run jet sweep motion or step back for a bubble screen.

Need to send him on a wheel route from the backfield. I watched a lot of top running backs break open only to get caught by faster DB players. Himon just outran the whole secondary. Reminded me a lot like Jeremy Ebert’s 81- yard pass catch against Nebraska where Ebert just left their secondary in the dust.

The wheel route needs to be run much more effectively it's such a great play

I feel like he is North & South fast but not East and West fast. I remember quite a few Jet sweeps where he got nowhere or even lost yardage.

Is that about speed or vision?

or bad blocking?

or lack of misdirection

or lack of misdirection

Or the fact that we are terrible at executing the jet sweep. Maybe Chip can figure what the problem is.

but I did like how we executed the play action pass against SDSU. There were also a lot of different variations on the plays that we did not use. This offense is going to be fun to watch.

Chip reads my posts!!!

seriously, I think his offensive playbook has a lot more pages. This will be a fun team to watch

Himon had a 79 yarder called back against Colorado, he’s a threat to break a long one every time he touches the ball.

I think this potential has always been there but the play book never got him out in space enough. I also think he has gotten stronger and wiser every year. A true developmental story.
