3 more touchdowns from E. Vermicelli to Wendell Jones, 33 in total. Target share explains some of it; the rest is the pair of them. They have played 4 games together this season alone. It is the simplest thing this offence does and the hardest to stop.

He has 5,928 yards from scrimmage in six seasons, and thirty-three touchdowns. He has never had a year like it.

He turned twenty-seven this year. He is from Cork, Ireland. Around the building he says almost nothing and is listened to anyway. He was a walk-on at Sawtooth Junior who did not have a scholarship until his third year. He dug graves for a summer and says it was the best job he ever had, once.

The Custodians are 2-2 through four weeks. Hutch Ellington is new.

Jones will not step on the painted logo at midfield.

This feature ran in the paper in week 4 of 2008. The rest of the season is there too.
