TWEET OF THE WEEK. It ain't often a Tweet scrolls across my feed that causes me to audibly laugh, but I have to say, this one got me.
Straight up, I'm going to tell my kids about that game. It was the single most incredible and unexpected individual performance I've ever seen.
And here the thing – obviously, it's a statistical anomaly, but maybe not as much as you might think. Because he actually put up comparable numbers against Michigan State, as well, he just had fewer carries.
Sermon finished the Northwestern game with 331 yards on 29 carries, averaging 11.4 yards per carry. Against Michigan State, he had 10 carries for 112 yards, averaging 11.2 yards per carry.
So... Maybe this is just who he is now? I'll just go ahead and pencil him in for 11.6 yards per carry against Clemson. That seems reasonable.
