What the heck, I'll say "yes". Indiana's run defense is not good (10th in the Big Ten), and I could see Coker rumbling downfield, running over some IU tacklers in the process, and dragging another tackler or two with him. Not sure if it'll happen TODAY, but I think we'll see some runs like that out of Coker at some point. :D
 


I expect we will see more than a break a tackle and pull some guys play. He has a second gear. He will hit an opening, the safety will take a bad angle and it will be over.
 


Im going to say he doesnt get a run over 30 yards. I belive he will run over 125+
 




Indiana's secondary is terrible and the D-line slants so often they take themselves out of plays without the line having to do a lot of work leaving the o-line already blocking linebackers. It is possible Coker or Rogers could run 30 yards untouched.

I have been having a hard time figuring out to whom I would compare Coker. He is more upright than Shonn. Shonn got to speed fast, but didn't necessarily have anothe open field gear. Coker will not get up to speed as fast as Shonn, but he looks to have another open field gear.

Some people have compared him to Eddie George and I get that, but not quite. He reminds men of Eric Dickerson in some ways but not quite. I also see stuff that reminds me a bit of Curtis Enis, but not quite. George Rogers also comes to mind for some reason, but I can harly remember him.

Maybe a comparison will become clearer today.
 




The O-LINE knows it's on them to really give the running game a chance. Coker runs hard, and the line with make some holes I could run through. I predicting somewhere else that Coker will have 3 20+ yd. runs.
