Thomas Rawls Destroys Purdue
For the second straight week, Rawls racked up over 100 yards for CMU, this time against Big Ten cellar dweller Purdue. He had 31 carries for 155 yards and 2 TDs.
Some Purdue fans remember this guy from his Michigan days, others were wondering where the F*** CMU got this guy. Via Hammer and Rails Game Thread:
This Rawls kid is Big Ten quality and he's killing us.
He's a grad transfer from Michigan
Sooo, you’re right.
Yeah, I know. He's one of the lucky few who gets to beat up on us for two different teams.
Put everyone on Rawls
And you might stop them. Then again…
#5 is running the other way when he sees Rawls coming
Rawls up the middle, first down - calling it
"This Rawls kid"; epic.
Also a game recap from WXYZ Detroit mentions Rawls.
Happy to see the kid do well. Go Blue!!

Purdue's defense will be horrible this year. If WMU and CMU can put 38 and 34 points on them, imagine what Big Ten teams will put on them.

Go Rawls!
So happy he's found a place to shine. Perhaps his upside would have been apparent earlier had our OL been better during his stay . . . .

Glad to see him doing well. He has the best of both worlds: a Michigan degree and one season of playing as the featured back against MAC-caliber talent.

He just had a terrible OL and terrible OC and just came to Michigan at the wrong time. If he was a committed HS senior right now we'd all be hyped and I'm positive his career at Michigan would've turned out differently.
Fun fact. He IS a Michigan grad. Many people don't realize he's already graduated from Michigan.

I think everyone realizes he graduated from Michigan. In order to play immediately as a graduate transfer, you have to be attending a grad program at the new school that isn't available at the first school. So you have to have graduated.

I didn't realize he graduated (or had forgotten) until I read a couple comments in this thread.

CMU pretty much MANBALL'd Purdue into dust.

left for lack of playing time. They are probably very happy they don't have to find out.
Nice to see Rawls getting his chance and doing well.
