I remember that play, it's one of the best runs I've ever seen, college or pro. Brooks had a nice rookie year for us, but his problem was he always wanted the home run. Kinda reminds me of how Skip Hicks was too. Just couldn't plow into the line for 3 yards, they both spent too much time dancing in the backfield.
