Bell was great, and the O-line had its best game of the season...may their success continue.

You were right about Bell.
A good RB makes an average OL look great. Imagine if the Steelers had a good OL?... Bell gets an easy 100yd game.
From what I got to see, I am still happy to have drafted Bell!! Can't wait for him to get his first 100+ yard game!!

I cant wait for his first 200+ yard game!!
I may be Bell's biggest critic in here predraft & post. Good performance yesterday. Keep getting better. I may like the pick before the years out.

Very excited by Bell's performance. Nice vision, nice patience, and a good mix of speed and power. Jones and Dwyer also did some nice things when they subbed for Bell.

I was a skeptic as well but given our OL Bell has been a beast. I'm really impressed by his patience and turning a no gain into 3 yards. Imagine what this kid will do when our OL executes.. I would like to see him get more touches in the passing game out in space.
Dizz, it's good to be right on one thing at least. :)
Why I believe Bell is different than most Big Ten backs is because most Big Ten backs especially those Wisconsin backs run behind superb OL's. Bell was always good at running behind an OL that was almost always outclassed. And that makes him a good fit for this squad. He is an A and B gap runner who finds tiny crack and squirts through it, always falling forward. I think he is going to be special if he can stay healthy.
