Per ESPN. Kenny only needs 43 scrimmage yards to reach 2000 this season becoming only the second freshman in 15 years to do it. Jonathan Taylor from Wisconsin being the last.

Gainwell - what a player. Coach Norvell said he was the most athletic player he had ever coached. Kenneth deserves bunches of recognition. I hope that he can pass that 2000 yard level in the Cotton Bowl. He deserves to get recognized on a national broadcast.

Yeah I was looking at that earlier.

Quote:4. Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic
Penn State vs. Memphis
Dec. 28, Noon, ESPN/ESPN App
AT&T Stadium, Arlington, Texas
Memphis' Kenneth Gainwell was thrust into action early in the year when star tailback Patrick Taylor went down with an injury. Now Gainwell is just 43 scrimmage yards away from 2,000 on the year. In the past 15 seasons, Wisconsin's Jonathan Taylor is the only other freshman to do that. Meanwhile, Penn State led the nation in yards-per-rush allowed. And if that's not an impressive enough matchup for you, stick around for the myriad discussions of the American's place as the sixth Power 5 conference that are bound to come with a competitive performance by the Tigers.
You would think we were the team from the bigger conference when reading this.

He only needs 43 yards? Man, that's just one play for him.

1425 rushing and 532 rec = 1957 combined yards. If PT had not returned he would be well over the 2,000 but PT coming back took some of the work load off. Plus Gibson’s rushing contribution was unexpected, at least by me with such great success.

Yet he wasn't good enough for Ole Piss or Moo U

Gibson deserves more touches based on his production...
Not sure about Gibsons durability but based on what he has done you have to get him his chances.

Actually, he was too good for either of them.
