per Souhan:
In three games, Ibrahim has rushed 97 times for 571 yards and 10 touchdowns, on 5.9 yards per carry. He leads the Big Ten in rushing by 235 yards.
We’ve rarely seen two Minnesota backs have weekends like this, or concurrent seasons like this.
Peterson, Cook and Ibrahim share little, stylistically. In his prime, Peterson was a rare combination of speed and power. Cook combines exceptional speed with close-quarters quickness and feel. Ibrahim runs like he’s related to former Cowboys star Emmitt Smith, another short, squat back with an uncommon knack for sliding off tacklers and writhing forward.
Writhing forward — that’s what the Vikings and Gophers did this weekend as their star backs ran past their competition.

Dalvin Cook and Mo Ibrahim give Minnesota a pairing tough to tackle
