Easily our best RB since Hart. 100 yards again tonight

I wish we ran a HB screen every once in a while. Always a good way to counter an aggressive blitzing defensive front, which we have seen plenty of between ND and NW. I don't think we've seen a HB screen in the entire Harbaugh era.

 

The offset draw play is another play that has completely disappeared.

Yes, although it is hard to know how good some of the others might have been with a better OL/different OC.

Both he and Chris Evans show some clever running when they break free.

Ran extremely hard and was one of the few guys who looked focused from the jump. Only nitpick is he did miss a couple of cutback lanes. Think that is his one weakness that pops up here and there

Felt like he was real close to breaking a big one for the last quarter and a half...I will say that he turns two yard losses into one yard gains at an alarming rate though.

A lot of people freaked out when Harbaugh took Karan over Weber....but his HS tape showed that he had great feet and a nice burst and ran with power.

I remember when we were so fixated on getting Weber to commit to us, and then at the last minute some guy name Karan Higdon committed.  We were worried that this might cost of Weber, which it did.  But does anyone care about that now?  What a great player he has been for us.

Tough runner and seems like a genuinely good guy. Not as if I needed it, but the amazon series showing him as a dad made me root for him that much more. A solid draft pick who will peak the first few seasons.
