UM Commit Damien Harris only had 11 carries (...but...)
UM 5 star 2015 commit Damien Harris was only given 11 carries this past Friday.
Howevah...
He gained 266 yards and 5 TD's, and came out of the game only two minutes into the second half.
Yeah. That be crazy. Must've ate subs.

EDIT: follow the link through to the original link, and it shows that Harris actually did even better. Still left two minutes into the 3rd quarter but finished with 13 carries for 352 yards. Should've played the entire game and gone for that ellusive 700-yards-in-a-game mark.

24 YPC? Meh.
September 2nd, 2013 at 12:02 AM ^
Yeah, wake me up when he hits 50 ypc. Anything less than that is pretty bush league, if you ask me.

Every time you post, I read it in the voice of Stinkmeaner, which makes me laugh hysterically.
September 2nd, 2013 at 12:00 AM ^
I'm continually amazed at the level these coaches are recruiting. We are going to be a machine.

Ron Johnson, 5 touchdowns. 1 game.
11/16/1968 vs Wisconsin. 347 yards. Records that still stand.
September 2nd, 2013 at 12:07 AM ^
but seriously. Keep it up big man!

Damien Harris is very good at football.

Great runningbacks in high school don't always seem to be that great in college. Best of luck though.

Someone needs to tell him to keep the camera centered on the very large, very fast young man with the ball in his hands.
In regards to Harris's running, man amongst boys, not even fair really.
September 2nd, 2013 at 2:44 AM ^
OMFG the 2nd run is one of the most hilarious things I have ever seen. He jukes a few times in the backfield, finds a seam, and then accelerates forward at such a pace the cameraman is beaten and Harris goes right off the right side of the screen. Then the camera seems to signal "defeat" by simply blinking blankly at midfield while all the action appears off side right. As if to say "F*** it, I am not built for filming this...." Those poor kids he played against looked like an 8th grade team ... like someone else said: man among boys.

Those are Barry Sanders/ Bo Jackson Tecmo Super Bowl numbers right there.

"Damien Harris should be the starter next week against Notre Dame."
September 2nd, 2013 at 2:08 AM ^
Also, the other team kind of looked weak.
September 2nd, 2013 at 10:48 AM ^
What is wrong with his teammates? Even if (not saying he is) a prima dona they should show some excitement that their team is scoring.
He is like Denard...but fast.
September 2nd, 2013 at 12:24 PM ^
The could bored watching the same thing over and over, especially if they knew the competition would be poor.
September 2nd, 2013 at 2:31 AM ^
Pulls out calculator...... leading to instant calculator explosion.... ok then.
September 2nd, 2013 at 2:33 AM ^
Meh... there were over 5 plays he touched the ball that did not result in touchdowns. Don't want.
September 2nd, 2013 at 6:17 AM ^
So, let's spread this out over his first two games - the stats for the game the week before are at this link - HERE
According to this listing, in that game 23 carries for 221 yards and 5 rushing TDs here. So, if I did the math correctly for the two games, 36 carries, 573 yards and 10 TD rushing, or a pedestrian 15.91 YPC.

I think they put him in the slot next year with Green at RB.
He needs to be on the field at all times.
September 2nd, 2013 at 7:51 AM ^
September 2nd, 2013 at 9:01 AM ^
His stats remind me of the numbers Fitz put up in high school.

I couldn't get those types of numbers playing NCAA football at the easiest setting.
Crazy performance; very excited to see him next year.
