Also looks like he was drawing a bead on 31 there.

Not a knock on Bruce, by any means. More of an impression on Shepperd's speed that we sometimes don't get to see, or maybe take for granted sometimes, or may have been limited due to injury in the past.
Bruce is also carrying the ball. I’s bet on a taper finish if they raced.
That said, I posted here a few years ago that Shep would make for a great RB. He would.

Also, Ryan Smith started as an RB if that counts. ;)
Mcnorton screen playcalls were called perfectly in a lot of situations.

We need to run more screens... In the right situations they are huge plays.
Re: Bruce Anderson the best RB receiving threat in Bison history?
McNorton better pass catcher. Bruce better route runner.

Re: Bruce Anderson the best RB receiving threat in Bison history?
Ryan Smith was absolutely lethal underneath. A play NDSU has abandoned since Klieman took over and not sure why (fake punt, onside kick??). Not sure why Shepard isnt getting that route 2-3 times a game. Low risk, very high reward play...If you can get a defense to drop its linebackers just a bit or get them to close in the gaps the short crossing route is unstoppable with a small speed guy.

The LBs are already close enough to the LOS due to the threat of the run. I think it was in his press conference after the SDSU game but someone (I believe it was Ross Uglem) asked Klieman if they're trying to push the ball more downfield this year based on Easton's yards per attempt and completion and Klieman said it's more what has been available due to the fact that teams are packing in so tight against the run and Easton recognizing that.
