ETN is our Marcus Lattimore but with better breakaway speed! Going to be real exciting watching this kid...

Why do we keep comparing him to RBs?

The kid is the FIRST Travis Etienne. That's it. His running style is nothing like Marcus.

He's actually a Jr, so that makes him the second Travis

Please recheck post. I said nothing about running styles! I was talking about character, work ethic, and making teams game plan for a running back for a change and not just passing game. That's what Marcus did for usuck and that is what Travis will bring to us. But if you closely watch how both work the holes then you will see a similarity. But I could also say same thing about James Davis!

You also said nothing about "character, work ethic, or making teams game plan for a RB". You actually said nothing but "ETN is our Marcus Lattimore but with better breakaway speed!".
Travis does not "work the holes" like Marcus. The one thing that the OCs have said is that he sometimes is impatient in going through the hole. He has just happened to play against gassed defenses so has taken advantage of them. His first big run against Louisville wasn't even the correct run. He just is a freak and turned it into something big. Marcus was much more skilled at following his blockers and letting a hole work its way open. Travis is only a freshman and he will probably learn this.
I know Travis is going to do big things here, but all of these comparisons are getting out of hand. I've seen: Bo, Emmit, Marcus, Barry, Terry, James, CJ, etc.
