I love the commit BTW. Now let's get him inked!

He has been on the radar since his junior year.

Maybe he will grow a couple of " by the time he is a junior.

If the old saying is true, that "you play like you practice", having only <5'10" and < 200 lb RBs are all we have to practice against, it cannot be too helpful when our opponents are not so limited. I hope we can sign more of the same.

15 days & counting to Feb.6th..

I would like for you to try to tackle Darrin Reaves and then call him limited. By the way, we don't have a back shorter than 5'10" and only one back that is less than 200lbs. Your beloved Crimsom Tahd's Richardson and Ingram are both 5'9" and 220-230.

Thanks!! Looks like he knows what to do when his O-line does their job. You see a hole open in front of you,,, you run through it,, no dancing around.
One of his runs reminded me of Corey White's burst up the middle to break Memphis's heart up there one Sat night a few years ago.

If we can find a team with a defense similar to me in condition, we will have little trouble (unless we trip over them while they gasp for breath) winning that game. Unfortunately, we keep running into teams whose players seem to be in even better condition than our players and have some success in stopping our RBs. So far, we have not had a QB who could consistently win with his arm. The other team's "D" was "stop the run and force UAB to win by throwing". How well did we do with that?

What part of 1037 yards and 13 touchdowns was not good enough for you?

Helps build interest in the program locally. It's not going to fill up Legion Field overnight, but if we had done more of this over the last 10-15 years, I think we would have developed more of a local following.

I agree 100%

Would that make it 200%?

Good numbers he put up considering he was playing one of the tougher schedules in 6A... Mtn Brook, Vestavia, Briarwood, HT to name a few.

Sorry, I just had to stop and chuckle at the thought of HT and "tough".
