Should average 10 at ODU then.

That might be ... OverlyOptimisticOwl.

Well done, sir.

None that we know of. Penn States coaches speak highly of him and most of our staff come from there. He was competing with two other talented RBs and not getting the carries he wanted. Still averaged about 5 yards per carry in the Big10 and Penn State has one of the best backfields in the country.

I am sure he is good, but first let’s see if he can maintain those stats behind the ODU line and as a starter.

I believe I read that he had some starts at Penn State, so starting would not be new or significant. I agree that the offensive line will be much different than what they have at Penn State, but then again, he won't be running against the defenses of Michigan, Michigan State, Maryland, Purdue, Wisconsin, etc. on a consistent basis either. Hopefully it at least evens out due to that.

It will be interesting to follow, if we get to have games.

Hope so. In 2018 he was rated 5* by one recruiting service and the top all purpose back in the country coming out of high school that year. Appears that he left Penn State for more playing time than he was assured of getting there. They have several high quality running backs coming back this year.

It looks like he was a third stringer. I hope ODU has a line. And a quarterback.

No worries Thunder. I made sure the stat sheet reflects the Assist. Nice lob....right at the rim.

Didn't know you were an ODU fan. I'm certain they will have a line and a quarterback.

A character in a low budget 1980’s sports film. He is the arrogant starting pitcher who treats his girlfriend like crap. The hero of the movie is secretly in love with Slade’s girl but he’s just a lowly stadium employee. Hilarity and romance ensue

Oh ok. I thought it was this guy:

I believe that is Slade Wilson. Easy mistake to make.
