Oscar Pennington: ACL, 5 games. The backup inherits the job for now.
Across twelve seasons: 28,199 yards from scrimmage, 395 touchdowns, 212 games. He got to 2,955 once. Not this time. For three clubs.
He is thirty-three, out of Coalport, Alabama. Ask anybody: he says almost nothing and is listened to anyway. Nobody planned any of it. He was the second man taken at his position out of Windham.
The club is 8-3. Barney Grit is in year nine of it. The contract runs out in the spring.
One more thing: he learned to cook properly during a rehab year and now does it for the offensive line.
