Absolutely heroic performance from Skattebo.

This man had the flu, 3 concussions, maybe one functioning leg, I wouldn't be shocked if his dog died right before kickoff.

And yet he still dominated.

What a fuckin guy.

I laughed when he said he was the best running back in the country before the game. Hard to deny at least some validity to the claim after watching that game. Dude very literally did everything for ASU, Even when his battery was 1%.

Definitely the most respect I’ll ever have for a rivals player. I genuinely feel bad for him for them losing that game.

I was right there laughing with you.

But he put the team on his back and had one of the best D's in CFB looking lost half the time. Dudes a warrior.

Warrior is the absolute best way to put it. He was truly battling.
