Another game, another dominant performance from D’Onta Foreman. Foreman did nothing to hurt his standing as the top running back in the Big 12 rushing for 136 yards on 30 carries with a touchdown.

Foreman has effectively silenced concerns about his ability to be a workhorse back in this offense. After the injury to Chris Warren, there were questions about how much of a workload Foreman could handle without wearing down. So far, so good.

The junior back followed up his 25 carry performance with 30 carries against Iowa State and provided a consistency to the offense that they desperately needed. It was the seventh straight game that Foreman has rushed for at least 100 yards, the second longest streak in Texas program history.

Strong praised his back, saying “He is our offense” following the game. Foreman is one of the best backs in the nation this season and will continue to be a steady presence for the Horns’ rushing attack moving forward.
