Milburn and Dorsett are good calls.

While C-Mac may not have the same uncanny ability to make defenders miss as did Nelson and Milburn, he might be a tad stronger in breaking tackles than those two (though Nelson, in particular, was underrated on this front - especially at college level).

I'm just enjoying watching the kid play.  A lot.

P.S.  The UCLA kicker essentially caught C-Mac on the KOR of 96 yards - at minimum he slowed him down so that Bruin teammates could tackle him before the end zone, and he did so when after trailing C-Mac at the turn up the sideline.  That was a very impressive effort by the UCLA kicker (Fairburn?).

When I think of Nelson I really think of two backs--the freshman/sophomore Nelson who was very elusive but a bit light, and the post-injury junior-senior Nelson who put on a lot of muscle to become a more powerful NFL style back.  Nelson is perhaps my favorite Stanford player to watch of all time, but CMac doesn't really remind me of Nelson I or Nelson II.  Milburn is a better comparison, but  even there CMac's moves seem more subtle (though effective) and less juke-y.  Tony Dorsett does seem to me to be a good comparison, from what I remember of Dorsett.
