Cannoneers

C. Gaskin has now thrown 35 touchdowns to Nikolai Ulmer. Partnerships like that used to be how you described a team, before everybody started describing schemes. They have played 9 games together this season alone. It is the simplest thing this offence does and the hardest to stop.

Across seven seasons: 7,014 yards from scrimmage, thirty-five touchdowns, 116 games. There was a 1,874-yard year in there. This is not it.

Twenty-eight, and Sable, North Dakota before that. He keeps his own counsel and his own hours. The route here: a mid-round pick who was the fourth-best player on his own college team.

Cannoneers are 7-2 through ten weeks. Garrett Fields II is in year two of it.

One more thing: he is the last man off the field, every week, without exception.

This feature ran in the paper in week 10 of 2024. The rest of the season is there too.
