Donovan Edwards Appreciation Thread

Fire the money cannon at him and the other fringe guys that could go pro and let’s run it back. BET.

THE DON. Love you, man. Go Blue!

I also saw that interview the other day and felt very proud of him and, yet again, appreciative of how the program under Coach Harbaugh’s leadership seems to mold recruits into team-first men of character. Donovan’s runs tonight brought me back to that glorious victory over OSU in 2022. Per his official bio: “Posted 216 yards with two touchdowns on 22 carries at Ohio State (Nov. 26), breaking off touchdown runs of 75 and 85 yards.”

I will also add that my 5 yo son was miffed that Donovan didn't get offensive player of the game tonight. He is a Blake fan, for sure, but tonight he liked The Don.

Thank you for giving me and my family (2 sons and ND convert Wife) this memory.   I'll never forget you.  Forever Go Blue. 

As a strong Christian, and spouse to a therapist, he may be my favorite player of all time. Love this guy.  Football aside, he's a great human being.

The Don was a hero this game.  He was awesome.

Pretty sure we were all hoping Don had a breakout game again. Couldn't have had more perfect timing. The stars aligned.

YES!! 

When Seth, Brian, and Alex talked about how Washington's defense misses tackles and puts RB's in space, I thought, DE is going to go off, and this game isn't going to be close. Congrats to him and that O-line, who has to be the most athletic, tough, and disciplined in the nation at run blocking. Some of the pulls made my jaw drop. The whole rushing attack looked as good as 2022: efficient AND explosive.

A lot of peole have been shitting on Donovan all year, calling him a bum, saying all he's ever done is two long runs against Ohio State. This dude is a bad motherfucker. He's a threat to go the distance very play. He had a tough year, but people forget he nearly put up 1000 yards rushing last season, and for a second year in a row, he's been clutch in the biggest game on our schedule.

The Don

The Don!! Best of luck with whatever you decide to do next. Your contributions to the success of this program, particularly in huge games, cannot be overstated. 

I'm really glad that you made this thread.  Donovan has been a great team player this year (and throughout his career).  I was at the Rutgers game last year in NJ and he carried tons of enthusiasm and energy on the sideline.  What a great young man.  It was great to see him with that burst of speed on those runs.  Even in the Alabama game there were a couple of glimpses of his aggressive running that we were missing earlier in the season.  Just those little things like falling forward with momentum instead of getting pushed backwards.  I'm so happy for him.

"Which one?"
