That picture says a thousand words. This team plays as one.
So happy you can see him smiling even with the mouth piece, facemask, chin strap and eye black covering most of his face.
I'd have never guessed that was his first TD.
Can someone find the press conference clip of Charlie Kolar talking about L. Akers a few weeks back.? About how they really want to see him get into the endzone, we're lookin for it, we're gonna find it, been here for 12 years... That was great.

I think Chase Allen made a comment a while back as well. One of them made a joke that he may have the most receptions in college football without scoring, or something like that. All the players wanted to see it so I had a feeling they had something drawn up for senior day.
And they did it! Just another feel good story about this team.
Couldn't find Charlie from 2-3 weeks ago (?) but Charlie in todays post game presser talked some about Landen! At the 23'20" mark we find that Landen has really been here 15 years now! Charlie cracks me up.

Yes, he was returning punts but I don't recall seeing him take the field on offense.
Love it. XHutch looked like Kenny Pratt posting up on that and butt-pushed two Mountaineers to all the way to Lincoln Way. Great Joy on this team and very well deserved. Got a couple games left....play for Joy and play for your brothers and sisters and it will be OK.
It was a neat play but the actually x and o of the play was great. That seems like an easy TD every time.
He did but not very many times. He lined up next to porter once I remember and the. We got a penalty and he went off the field. Figured we were going deep then.
The dback following/shadowing was screwed as soon as Akers turned back in motion pre-snap.
Was it because he went behind his guys and not in front? Should the defenders should have switched guys?
I'm not real sure how it exactly works but he's going to be trailing Akers no matter what.
Maybe an LB is supposed to get out to the flats but it looked like they were assigned to pressure.
