Good for him.

I will always root for this kid

It doesn’t surprise me to see him do well. He would have been a great second option especially when Sean got banged up. Would have been great to have him next year. Success is not linear.

 

[sufandu]

I’ll take the production we got from Sean the last two years over Jordan any day.

I don't think it was an either/or comment. He would've been nice to have this year when Sean was beat up and to have next year with Sean playing on Sundays.

It was either/or. He saw himself as a starting tailback vs slot receiver. I felt bad because he stuck with his SU commitment through some tough times, but the staff made the right call.

The staff wasnt playing him at slot. Tucker was rising and Jordan wanted a new opportunitiy somewhere else.

I am fine with being told I’m wrong but it seems like he was mostly used at SU for runs up the gut. And that didn’t work out well.

He would've backed up Tucker and likely been the starter next year, which is very much what happened at Louisville. Of course nobody had a crystal ball to see how everything would shake out.

What on earth makes you think he’d play over Tucker at 50% health? We had good options behind Tucker this year.

Where did I say that? He would've been a back up.

Jawhar's been ripping it up this season at Louisville. We sure could have used him to pair with LeQuint this year.

Yeah, he loves SU but didn’t want to be behind Tucker

I'm still friends with his mom. We texted all game long. She also congratulated us on the SU win today FYI. He really is doing well.

 

[FRANKIEFAN]

Yeah he definitely passes the eye test when you watch them live well rounded back at this point.

Nice to finally not have to play them.

 

[wfschrec]

I’ll take LeQuint all damn day.

It's a wash with LQA, but Tucker vs Jawhar was a no-brainer. In any case, Lville is happy w/ how things turned out, & so are we.

It won’t be a wash when Allen’s career is over.

 

[tep624]

I don’t mind that he transferred out thinking he was good enough to start somewhere - if you’re confident you’re able to do that then go seek it out. I just don’t like that he transferred to division rival and never will.

 

[NYCCuse826]

At the pace he's playing, he'll be a 1000 yard back. Probably going to get draft whispers.

 

[All4SU]

Going into Saturday, JJ was leading the nation in yards per carry.

 

[sufandu]

It was too bad. He may have had a lot of run last year with Tucker hurt since he had Dino's trust, and this year he likely starts. He may have ended up getting as much time here as he has since transferring. I also wonder if he just didn't trust that we would ever get a functuinal oline for him to run behind.

Well that and the Sterlin Gilbert experience probably wasn’t his cup of tea.

What about the knee pads?
