If you could pick one play to end your college career, Hendrick Haaberg's against Iowa would be dead last. My god that was sad.

Let's hope he has a palate cleanser against Utah.

I think HH was misused as his competitive advantage was his top end speed versus linebackers and his speed/size versus safeties. I think had HH ran routes that were in the 15-25 yard range, he could beat defenders better. Where he struggled was as an in-line blocker and short yardage situations, both of which we forced way too often for him.

@DefenderAO nailed it that it was a neat story, but he was not up for this level.

This is a huge understatement.
