A club let Quinton Lambswool walk. He gained 159 yards on them. These two facts are being carefully kept apart in the postgame. He is 32 now, which was most of the argument at the time. The fixture comes round again next year.
10,336 yards over eight seasons. 139 touchdowns. 118 games. This is the best of them. He has done it in two buildings.
He is from Salt Fork, Oklahoma. Ask anybody: he is the one the young players actually ask. The route here: the son of a man who played eleven years at the same position. Before any of it he worked nights at a rendering plant to pay for a truck he never bought.
Cannoneers are 7-0 through seven weeks. Hoot Jessup is in year seventeen of it. There is one year left on the deal.
One more thing: he has never once been photographed smiling on a sideline.
