Will be interesting to see if Bruce has a shot at the next level. He keeps up his pace it might happen.
Last year I thought Bruce was the third best RB on the team. His vision has improved this year and I think by losing five pounds has made him a much better back. I think he does get a shot at the next level because he is also a great special teams player. His versitility makes him atttactive.

The BEST RB for NDSU ever? That would be a stretch i think. The best RB when compared to today's standard of a RB needing to catch as well as run the #$%@ ball, Bruce is definitely in the conversation. Even ten years ago, RB didn't seem to catch balls as much as they do now. So comparing a modern RB to anyone else in the distant past isn't a real fair comparison.
But as far as the title of the thread, yes, I think he is in the top 5 of receiving RB's we have had. Need to do research on RB stats to compare.

would have to think there's a long way to go before Anderson passes Morlock.
Re: Bruce Anderson the best RB receiving threat in Bison history?
At the very least I hope its a sign that coaching plans to get him or the other backs more down field on wheel routes and seam routes as well. A great way to make up for a weak Receiving corp, or at least a receiving corp that isnt producing to this teams standards.

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.

Shep is flat out fast and quick...we get to see the quickness a great deal, he breaks a lot of ankles, but you are right, he put the afterburners on in the clip.

Darrius ran 11.33 in the 100 meters as a high school senior.
18th best in Blue Springs T & F history.
Looks faster than that now.
