T.X. Lattimore QB
The Fighting Ostriches

166 yards from a man who was the son of a man who played eleven years at the same position. The scouting industry declines to comment. He eats the same breakfast every game day and will not discuss it, which his teammates have stopped remarking on. It counts the same as anybody else's.

Across eight seasons: 7,666 yards from scrimmage, 125 touchdowns, 110 games. His best was 1,893. This is not that, yet. He has done it in three buildings.

He is thirty, out of Sable, North Dakota. Ask anybody: he runs hot, and everybody has decided to live with it.

The Fighting Ostriches are 2-0 through two weeks. Reuben Dupree is in year six of it.

This feature ran in the paper in week 2 of 2012. The rest of the season is there too.
