[It Takes Eleven]

Josh Jacobs
Played in 40 games, scored 21 TD's
251 carries for 1491 yards, 5.9 Av
48 catches, for 571 yards, 11.9 Av
18 kickoff returns for 514 yards, 28.6 Av
1 punt return for 27 yards

Everyone knows that if you aren't a good blocker for your QB
in the backfield, you would not get much PT under CNS.

Not bad all around college career, considering his RB team mates
getting the bulk of the rushes. Also, all star receivers being thrown
the bulk of pass attempts.

The most surprising thing is that he never attempted a pass.
