No. 2 – A deep stable of running backs
August 29, 2014
We’re down to Reason No. 2. And here’s today’s list of great 2’s:
No. 2 – Reggie Hunt – a hard-hitting safety;
No. 2 – Trevone Boykin – you know all about him;
No. 2 – Jason Verrett – no introduction needed;
(and here’s one I bet you didn’t know)
No. 2 – Kyle Clifton – you’ll remember him as a force at linebacker for the Frogs and the Jets, but what you might not know is that he came to TCU as a quarterback and wore No. 2 early in his career before switching to No. 89.
his deep stable of running backs is flying under the radar.
Not a lot is being said about this group now that the “Meacham Field” Offense has come to town. But this is a group that will make the difference in some games this year.
Returning yardage leader B.J. Catalon (above) has led the Frogs in rushing two years in a row, and Aaron Green is stronger than ever at just over 200 pounds.
Green started to show what he is capable of late last season. He took over the Iowa State game late in the contest. Add to the mix the very quick Kyle Hicks and fellow redshirt freshman power plant Travorris Johnson at 220, and there’s a wide range of styles and choices when it comes to the run game.
From finesse to ferocious, the Frogs can dial it up and Doug Meacham has said when the space is there, TCU will run the ball.
Gentlemen, start your engines.
Tomorrow, it’s Reason No. 1.
