Honestly that's some terrible tackling and pursuit by Ole Miss. He's a great player but Ole Miss is terrible on D.
Not recruiting a defensive player for 3 years will do that to a team.
lol, I'm not an untrained eye. Their players weren't even pursuing past the pile up. He made some guys miss no doubt but he got a ton of yards just from lack of effort on the backside.
Ole Miss has a ******* awful defense though. Jared pulled out this stat on the FART podcast and I’m stealing it: Alabama had 723 yards of offense. Based off of the starting position of all of their drives the maximum yards that Alabama could’ve gained was something like 770 yards. They limited Alabama to 93% of maximum yardage. If that’s not piss poor defense I don’t know what is.
If a game between two P5 schools results in a team getting over 700 yards it has to be terrible defense and great offense at the same time.
But their announcers are always berating the Big12's defenses!?
Breece deserves the recognition. And it doesn't matter right now who is better or who is having the better season. Heisman's aren't handed out in October.
Breece just needs to keep plowing away. Having a finalist would do wonders for this program right now. Much more so than when Troy was

Exactly, getting an invite would be awesome for Breece and ISU. It’s tough this year wIth two other RBs high on the list.
We are less than half way through the season, a lot can happen. Breece is doing a great job for ISU, and at this point that is all I care about. If he puts together several 200+ yard games, than we can revisit the Heisman talk.
Glad Breece is getting some love. He has been amazing. But I agree, Harris and Etienne are going to be tough to beat in terms of RBs alone. Lawrence will probably win barring injury. Still, glad to see Hall on these lists.
It seems to me that it would take a lot for Lawrence not to win.
I’m just happy with Breece getting some national recognition. And he’s only a sophomore, time aplenty to build on that.

A couple of fun stats here..
Last year Breece played in 12 games, had 186 attempts for 897 yards, averaged 4.8 ypc and had 9 TD's.
This year Breece has played in 4 games, has had 93 attempts for 531 yards, averages 5.7 ypc and had 8 TD's.
I know that Breece truly started playing in the middle of the year and he didn't truly play in 12 games, but Breece this year already has exactly half the attempts he did last year, over half the rushing yards he had last year, is averaging a whole ypc more, and needs 1 more TD to tie his total.
Say he keeps up the exact same pace for the next 6 games, which is 132 ypg and 2 TD a game. He'd end the year with 1,323 yards and 20 TD's.

His last 12 games (i.e., 1 full season):
1,344 rushing yards; 5.15 ypc; 112.0 ypg; 17 rush TD
294 receiving yards; 1 rec TD
That's a pretty good "season" by any measure.
I listen to every episode, but man, they couldn't find two guys with less energy and enthusiasm. They know college football, but I literally listen to it as I go to bed.
For sure. And FWIW, the last RB to actually be on a Heisman ballot was Bryce Love in 2017, who had 263 att, 2118 yds, 8.1 ypc, and 19 TD's.
Have to agree. Our offensive line is not very good, which makes it even that much more impressive what Breece Hall is doing right now.
