TL16 is actually a pretty fast dude

It was awesome to see Trevor hand the ball off to Travis then run down the field helping to block on this 75 yard TD run.

Most knew that before he ever stepped foot on campus. Have you seen his HS film of him running?

I remember hearing stuff about how he was a step down from KB in the running game when he was named the starter. Perhaps he's not as physical as Kelly was (pushing past guys like a running back), but I would probably say he's just as fast (if not faster) when he turns on the jets.

TL’s speed is quite deceptive, I think that is because most of us are mesmerized by all of his other qualities.. maturity/character/quiet confidence...his jets are like a Tax free bonus!

He's quite agile too.

He got hit hard more than once in the NC game but remained on his feet. He's hard to knock off balance because his legs can reach so far from his center of gravity. Hit him hard and his first step in the direction he's hit can be five feet and his other leg moves just as fast to put his lower body under center again.
Basically, he's a freak, I've never seen a anyone who could do that better.

Imagine him next year too after another year in the weight room and just getting more experience too. I bet he breaks some long runs off next season. I just hope he learns to slide well. He seems to like contact.

Yeah that a scary moment. That should have been targeting of course. I am just glad he shook that off. That was crazy.

Another 10 lbs in the off season will be a tremendous asset to his running game.

"Bottles the mind" I like that, should be added to the tigernet dictionary.

In one of the VLOGs after this game, there was a clip of one of the sports science guys stating (don't hold me to exact numbers)on this run Etienne topped out at 22.5 mph and Trevor was around 21.5 mph according to bio-metric recorders I think within the shoulder pads.

He’s definitely fast running in a straight line. His burst isn’t off the charts and he’s not that shifty at this point. But he is very tough. I’m sure he can improve in his burst and ability to juke people over time. I don’t think it’s a huge priority though.

If a play breaks down let him free. If not, keep your @ss in the pocket and pick them apart for the love of God!

That's an awesome photo, isn't it?
A guy busts loose for a 75-yard TD run and 3 of the 4 closest guys in pursuit are his teammates who have just run the length of the field to help block and/or celebrate.
What a team attitude!
Just remember: "Alabama doesn't hold parades just because they won another championship." WaF. When you work together, and achieve together, you celebrate--together.

How often do you see the QB handoff to RB then...
Jan 28, 2019, 2:06 PM

....run the distance to block?
The only other time I've seen that was when Renfrow was at QB in the WF game. Gives it to Dixon then runs ahead to block for a 52 yard Dixon TD.

in the next couple of years. He will emerge as an incredible leader, I think, a la Watson. A lot of example, a few words at the right time.

Tall guys may not look as fast when they move but they can cover a lot of ground in only a few strides. Trevor isn't shifty but if he gets some daylight he can clearly take to the house.
