random, but he has that slippery juke that reminds me of how Rainey use to juke. Obviously different type of backs but you get my drift
I love that sideways slip Jaden does after he gets up to the line, and the speedy burst as he does it. It's gotten to the point where I expect it to happen almost every time. I wonder if defenders will adapt to that.
His TD against LSU is so fun to watch, because the LSU defense was so discombobulated on that play and you could see it on their faces. Great play call. Baugh planted his foot, cut, and was gone; no hesitation on his part. The corndogs were also gone. Ha ha. A thing of beauty.
The thing that stood out to me was the LSU safety barely able to catch him with an angle and Baugh has so much size and speed the safety gave up with a token push instead of launching at him.

Right, but he’s also a load that can move out of your way. Potentially great HoF UF RB. When is the last time we have had such a quality FR RB?
If this is referencing Fred Taylor, I would agree that Fred was faster when he was an upper classman, but I don’t think it’s as significant as being made out. We don’t have a 40 time for Baugh, but we do have 100M times for both. Fred ran a 10.85 and Baugh ran an 11.35. Half a second over a football field isn’t that much different. With strength and conditioning, I definitely think Baugh could shave a half second in the next two years in the program. I find Fred to be a fair comparison.
Yes, I'll admit he looks slow out there... and on that run I was SURE that they would catch him... but they didn't! He might not be fast, but he ain't slow!
We also need to remember that LSU has some fast DBs. I don’t know that many could pull away the way Fred used to do against kids back in the day.
