Navy's Keenan Reynolds breaks Denard's record (rushing yards for a QB)

Submitted by Mr. Yost on December 28th, 2015 at 4:38 PM

Just did it midway through the 3rd quarter. If it was going to go down, couldn't have been to a better person and player.

Congrats to Keenan.

With his 48 yard run, Keenan Reynolds now has the most career rush yards by a QB in FBS history with 4,518 yards.

Good for him, I'm happy for him. I still wish RR had redshirted DRob.

Now that I think about it... DRob didn't play much freshman year... Actually the most noteworthy thing I remember from his freshman year was the INT against Iowa after Tate went out.

Probably could have redshirted easily.

After Denard in the depth chart was Nick Sheridan and then David Cone. He'd have burned it in the Iowa game when Tate was hurt and we still had a chance to win.

Besides, Denard ended up playing in all 12 games.

Today is the first time I've watched him play. Setting these records at his size shows you the size of his heart. The overall durability to stay healthy for four years running the triple option is quite amazing. It's a damn shame he didn't get a Heisman invite.

the only serious injury a QB has had at GT in Paul Johnson's tenure was Josh Nesbitt breaking his arm making a tackle after an INT.

Nesbitt himself had already put a VT LB out of the game with a vicious truck stick move. the drive where that pick happened was going to be the one that put that game away and reclaim our season...FUCK lol

If I'm not mistaken, he started playing midway through 2012. I think at Central Michigan may have been his first full game.

Glad it happened versus Narduzzi.

Needed 200 more attempts to do it.

Just because he is an officer that does not mean he is going to go be Chesty Puller. More than likely he'll be an attaché or something along those lines.

If he's a Naval or Marine officer, there's a decent chance he will go into harms way. It doesn't make a difference what your major is. What does make a difference is what you service select (i.e. Aviation, seals, marines, etc). Usually officers get attach/liaison jobs after they went to combat. -Navy '98

Due to the QB depth issues that went on for years and are finally being corrected, Denard's as a backup QB in 2009 kept him from a lot more opportunities and yards.

You could see the evidence of that during the 2009 season. I remember watching various plays develop and Tate's inability to just carry out the play design ended up botching what were well designed plays.

I know he was praised for his improtu play, but that same improtu play ended up fucking up a lot of potential plays that were going for TDs.
