T. Nakamura was the son of a man who played eleven years at the same position. On this afternoon he had 118 yards, and in Coalport, Alabama they will have seen it. He is the last man off the field, every week, without exception, which his teammates have stopped remarking on. It is a long way from Coalport, Alabama, and he did not come the easy way.
