PrintIt feels a little ridiculous even posting who won RBR Player of the Week this week. It was a done deal a little after 7:00 p.m. on Saturday after Trent Richardson's breathtaking 76 yard TD run. You can see my reaction to it on Twitter.
Overall, he had 183 rushing yards on 17 carries (10.8 avg) with 4 TDs. He also had two receptions for 30 yards. 213 yards on 19 touches (11.2 avg). Simply amazing. Looking at his individual runs, it's not like his stats were hyper-inflated by the one 76 yard run. There were only three, maybe four carries that went for zero, one or two yards. Besides those, he was absolutely gashing their defense for big runs and needed yardage. As OTS has said on more than one occasion, enjoy the rest of his 2011 season because he's not coming back for his senior year.

You have to give it to #21
The boy has heart. Has to have heart to get beat TWICE on one play.

"Shake it, bake it, and he makes it! Touchdown!"
BTW, everyone’s focus (mine included) was on #21 getting broke down, that move also caused #3 and #6 to lean that way as well.
3 definitely deserves this, but AJ played his best game by far
Something getting overlooked.

Also, it was a pretty good call by the play by play.

Like you alluded to
Player of the Week wasn’t even close. Don’t think there’s much of an argument that could be made for anyone else (maybe the OL, but that run you mentioned left no doubt).

while watching on TV live you can
hear someone in the broadcast booth laughing during the replay…at that point I kinda felt bad for #21 and then quickly started laughing again.

Shake N' Bake!!
or is he the “Magic Man” ? Now you see him… now you don’t.
Either way I bet Trent never eats crepes or says that he likes them!
this is why i need a patent Stat!
Who’s got a few thousand lying around so I can make this prototype?

Talent can only get you so far. Give me a player who has less talent, but the heart of a champion and the will to succeed.

I posted this over at the Mothership. It goes here, too.
Watch Richardson’s "juke" again. I use scare quotes there because what Richardson does is not a juke at all; in fact, he unsticks himself from time, reversing backwards about 3/4ths of a second while the universe (including, albeit grudgingly, Ole Miss) contunes forward apace. He then resumes normal time and forward momentum. He pauses, rewinds himself, and continues forward.
I’m still working on the numbers, but I think Richardson has become so strong that he can actually outmuscle physics. Either that, or he’s a Time Lord.
He did already break the sound barrier
And I don’t mean he ran past the speed of sound. I mean the sound barrier attempted to tackle him and he broke it.

He's a beast
and will no doubt bring home plenty of hardware (and a nice fat paycheck in the draft), but he won’t get heisman consideration
