I remember watching the game against Northern Illinois which was his first start. I was worried about having someone that I really hadn't seen before. Wondering if he could take the reigns. His first carry (don't remember the yardage) was for 5 yards. He did it like he had been doing it before at this level. I'm about 20 years older, and me calmed he down. Go figure.
I still remember him taking it to the house on 3rd and I think 8 to win it. Same deal. He ran it. Like it was just another day. The rest of the team was all over h celebrating (rightfully so).
The other part I remember of him was being a great 3rd down back after he wasn't the starter. He not only stayed after not being the starter but excelled at his new spot on the team.
I'm very sorry for his family and friends. From all accounts, he was a great person. Rest in peace
