OXFORD, Miss. -- One day, Daniel Moore will paint this moment and call it "The Juke." Trent Richardson will remember it as his Heisman Trophy play.

As if he needed one.

Every now and then a "wow" play happens in college football. You know the type. They're the ones where you immediately jump on YouTube to make sure the eyes didn't deceive the brain.

On a night when Richardson's spectacularly, steady running tied Shaun Alexander's Alabama record of six straight 100-yard games, Richardson accomplished something else with one ridiculous carry. He provided the pizazz often needed in Heisman Trophy races with a signature run that should make him the leader, at least for now.

"I didn't coach against Walter Payton, but he has some similarities," Ole Miss defensive coordinator Tyrone Nix said.

Wait, what? Mention Payton while beginning a conversation about a college junior and my ears perk up. Continue, Tyrone.

"I see some Emmitt Smith in him," he said. "Trent probably has his own style. He has quick feet, the stutter step, he can hit the home run, he can run you over. He's a little bit of everybody balled up."

Good catch, Crisp.  I think "The Juke" may indeed become an icon.  #+

The "Juke"

It's pretty hard to run and catch someone when your jock is at your ankles.  ;)

Too bad the field isn't longer.  He might've gotten another couple misses in.
