Before the Troy game, I was struck at the number of current players capable of etching their names high on some all-time lists. Now that we posted a B!G win, I was interested to see what sort of progress some of them made.
Tyler Sheehan ... Passing yardage: Easily moved past Erich White and is now 457 yards behind Rich Dackin and 533 yards behind Omar. If he stays healthy and avoids a total melt down, he will almost certainly get to #2 on this list by year's end and probably my midseason.
Freddie Barnes ... Pass receptions: He moved up to number 8 on the all-time list, passing Kurt Gerling and Steve Sanders. Two more catches puts him above Reggie Thornton.
Roger Williams ... kick off returns: He is now the school's all-time leader in kick return yardage and is only seven returns away from tying the all-time record for most returns in career.
Chris Bullock ... Rushing yards: Didn't really do much there; his 18 yards moved him past Phil Polak (1971-73) to #18 on the all-time list.
Go Falcons!

No knock on Roger whatsoever, but I wouldn't be upset if he didn't get the chance to break or tie that record, as long as it is due only to the stingy defense we play. Of course, even taking one kickoff per game would get him the record so, go Roger!
