Great Post + 3 catches and 23 yards receiving looks to be a good running back that can receive the ball and run. Just a few cold weather games others are the road and the few cold weather games are played against teams from the south. So he stays in the game should fare well.

Definitely should be featured more, i really dont understand what he has to do to be featured outside of pass blocking maybe.

So, the Miz was right again.

He actually was featured. They only ran 59 offensive plays(discounting punts and FGs). Jordan was a part of 27 of them. QB Hoyer(a backup) threw for 300+ yards largely due to Jordan's ability to run the ball. The other top RBs are injured. The other healthy RB only touched the ball 3 times. Word was that Jordan was expected to become the starter before season's end anyway.

I would feel better about our current team if I knew we had a Jordan Howard type back in the back field next year.

If Nisby stays committed, we will.

Four years ago, Derrick Henry was the #1 high school running back in the country and had his choice of schools. We know where he went, won a couple of NC's and a Heisman.

Meanwhile, one Jordan Howard up the road In Gardendale (allegedly) had one D-I football scholarship offer. He came to UAB, had a couple of good seasons, only to have the Great Pumpkin steal his team away. So he transferred to Indiana and was All-Big Ten in his one season.

This season, one of the above players is a starting running back (and 100-yard rusher) in the NFL. That's just one of the differences UAB football makes.

Go Blazers!

Quietly making a name for himself.

Chris Hubbard played well for his first ever NFL start.
