2009: Continued to progress each practice and excel in the weekly toilet bowl games...moved into the second spot on the two-deep following an injury to Rusty Smith...in the two spot he earned the second quarter action that Schnellenberger employs with the No. 2 to gain experience when the game means something...completed two of the three pass attempts in his first game, versus UAB for 56 yards, including a pass for 49 yards...also ran four times for net gain two yards, his longest was a 12-yard run...completed one of three passes versus Troy for 13 yards and carried the ball five times with a gain of one.
