Montee seems to run a consistent speed, probably a 4.6 speed. This speed starts from the second he has the ball. Combine that with great vision, patience, and sturdy balance. I see Ball as a Matt Forte type back in the pros.
Ball has a serious chance of being a very good NFL RB if he can pass block. I would love to see Ball stay but if he is pretty much assured of going in the first 2 rounds, for your own sake make the jump Montee. You may not have top end speed but your vision and lateral movement are top end. You make crisp decisive cuts, see the hole very well, and are a good receiver out of the backfield.
I wouldn't say Montee Ball is having such a great year because of his O-line. The O-line is only part of the reason. What an O-line is suppose to do is create opportunities. It's then up to the running back to have the vision to see those opportunities and take advantage of them. I happen to see a lot of runs where the O-line gives him the opportunity, Ball sees the opportunities, and then at the second level uses his own talents to make people miss and gain large chunks of yards.
Great compilation. People are always saying Ball is only as good as the Badgers offensive line and that so many of his TD's come from the goalline.... well, for those people, watch this highlight reel. Yes you'll see goalline TD's, but look who got them there. Monte Ball will win the Heisman and if he doesn't it's because he's not an SEC running back. (Which should make him even more of a prospect in my opinion)
@jmg1685 I Agree. The O-line creates opportunities. Ball had the vision to take advantage of them and use his own talents to make people miss at the second level. Just watch how season went with Montee Ball and James White (whose a very good back). That's the proof anyone needs to dispel the notion that Montee Ball is as good as his O-line.
This dude is playing in a conference with no defense whatsoever. Same goes for Andrew Luck and RG. Its rigged up for Griffin to win because they been hyping him up.So since we (Alabama) got everybody mad that we beat out OK State to play for the championship they are gonna screw over Trent Richardson.
@kirkseyava Are you serious? There are a bunch of top 25 defenses in the Big 10. The Big 10 isn't the Big East buddy, the put out tons of NFL talent every year on both sides of the ball. It's pretty obvious you have absolutely no clue what you are talking about.
i know RG3 is going to win the Heisman but i dont see why shouldn't it be montee ball instead, he's one touchdown away from breaking barry sanders record!
@namra1205 Hey, great video! I posted a "shorter" version of Montee Ball and Russell Wilson highlights, if you don't mind checking them out. I enjoyed watching it!
On a side note, are you going to make highlights of the Rose Bowl? (after the game is over)
@jonnyhan Being a higher draft choice has absolutely nothing to do with performance in college. Trent may be a better pro prospect, but in terms of production on the college football field (including against better defenses), Ball takes Richardson to the woodshed.
@namra1205 Ball unlike Trent, has a consistant passing game to rely on, and even i could run through the holes that oline makes for a 20 yard gain, better defenses in the Big 10? lol? is that serious? That being said, i still feel ball is very underrated, he should definantly prove himself to be first-round talent next year though, even though he is projected at going in the 3rd round this year by most.
@russdog94 All I'll say about Trent vs Montee is that yes, the defenses Ball faced were tougher, and he performed at a higher level against them. He scored at least 2 touchdowns in every game during the regular season, including games against Michigan State (twice), Ohio State, Penn State, Nebraska and Illinois. All were top 40 defenses, and several (PSU, MSU 2x, and Illinois) were all top 10. In those games, Ball had 13 touchdowns and 678 total yards.
@namra1205 lol, its proven year after year that the SEC has the best defenses in the nation, even the mediocore schools, have you traveled out of big 10 land? only defense i see on that list is penn state, trent had 192 yards against lsu, arguably the best defense in the country, who were stacking 9men in the box to stop him, just like everyother team trent has faced this year. Trent has 1583yd, and 20 tds this season, and remember, trent has only played one 4th quarter all year...
@jonnyhan Well if how high you get drafted has anything to do with it Luck would be the Heisman winner, not Richardson. Also the latest projections have Ball going in the first.
@jonnyhan Yeah I guess if your not into yards or touchdowns Trent Richardson is better, but if your into good stats Montee is better hands down. Hes been proving himself since day one and he will continue to do so in the NFL
@yougotmikelopez good thing your opinion doesn't matter............... On a side note, what really sucks is that Montee actually has 39 tds in the regular season. He threw 1 td pass. I haven't look at the stats, but I'm 99% sure Barry Sanders also had over 200 or more carries on the season than Montee did as well. Barry was their whole team.
Barry Sanders had 39 TD's in the regular season and 5 more in the Holiday Bowl against Wyoming. Total of 44. Sadly, they didn't count bowl games TD's 20+ yrs ago. However, they do now. Monty has 38 going into the Rose Bowl and will probably score more TD's in that game giving him the record, unfairly... Sorry Monty, but you need 44 TD's or more in my book.
@yougotmikelopez You need to keep in mind Balls TD/carry ration is WAY higher than Barrys. Either way you look at it Ball has been the biggest touchdown machine at running back in history.
@mbanderson83 Barry (7.6 yards per carry) Montee (6.4 yards per carry). Montee cannot tie or beat Barry's season record without scoring 6 more TD's in the Rose Bowl. Barry's 39 are from eleven season games. Barry scored 5 TD's in the Holiday Bowl that year making him at 44. —You are a complete dumbass. Clearly you didn't bother to look up all of Barry's college stats or you never would have bothered to proceed in tagging yourself as a dumbass.
@RocknRoll7736 except when Barry Sanders played, stats from Bowl games did not count towards records. Yes, Barry Sanders scored 39 TDs in 11 games, but the record is single season TD record. Montee will do it in a single season, this breaking Barry's single season record. Who's the dumbass now.
@xthenewdenial In theory he'll be getting/receiving a false record since I, the whole world, and maybe (doubtfully) you, can easily see that in fact—no record was actually broken at all. Montee scored fewer TD's in the regular season, and will have scored fewer in the total (Bowl included) season.
@RocknRoll7736 no you are just too myopic to understand. Will Barry Sanders score more TDs than Montee Ball? Yes. Will Montee Ball break the record for single season TDs, yes. Like it or not, bowl games count towards single season records, which Montee Ball will break. Deal with it. And as far as no defense in the B1G, you're just fooling yourself. PSU, MSU, and Illinois are all great defenses. PSU held Trent Richardson to 111 yards on 26 carries and Bama to 27 points.
@xthenewdenial I think you still don't understand that with Barry's bowl game he had 44 TD on the season. Despite the strange rule change to allow TD's to count in bowl games now, that doesn't change the fact that a record is not being broken other than people oddly saying it is. Barry had more TD's than Montee in the reg season and including the bowl (unless Montee pulls off 6 Rose Bowl TD's). Just because someone tells a blind man the sky is green, it doesn't make it true.
@RocknRoll7736 well I'm glad you decide not to read anything I said about how BS scored more TDs but Montee will break the record. You're just to stubborn to understand it, so you might as well get over it. But that's unlikely to happen considering you're trolling a Montee Ball highlight video.
@xthenewdenial I really don't see what is so hard to understand about Barry having more TD's than Montee unless he reaches 44 by Rose Bowl's end. No record is being broken. That'd be like saying the '72 Dolphins undefeated season isn't valid anymore because they now play sixteen games in a season. If you are above the age of three you should be able to come to the conclusion on your own that no matter what the NCAA or ESPN says, Barry's stats are in the books and legit.
Montee Ball Highlights??? More like Wisconsin O-Line Highlights just saying he's not crazy fast not crazy quick. That offensive line clears the way
