TG Career Rushing Record March...

[BGSU1]

Crazy to think that a converted WR who no one really had heard of will end up breaking the rushing record while playing three years and missing some games due to injury. The dude is a beast and should be held in the same company as Preston, Pope, etc. Kudos to Dave Clawson for recognizing where Travis belonged and allowing us to watch him dominate.

What an incredible story he is. Think about this.....After 2012 we were suddenly losing our top back. Anthon Samuel had rushed for 844 yards as a Freshman and 998 as a Sophomore. Outside of football family issues had him leaving when we couldn't save a scholarship for him when he was waffling about coming back. At that point in his Career Samuel had a 1842 yard to 10 yard lead on Travis Greene for lifetime rushing yards. Its likely that Greene will finish with more than a 1000 yards more than him.

Also in 2012 we were losing John Pettigrew the top backup at the position 128-562-6tds.
Jamel Martin had a promising first 2 years but fought injuries.
Andre Givens had flashed potential in his first year.

Jump to 2013 and Greene Rushes for 1595 and 11 tds, catches 18-155.
Jump to 2014 new coach passes more 949 yards 12 tds, 27-175 in the air.
Now in 2015 he has 866 yard 10 tds, 20-159 in the air.
He is on pace for 1212 yards 14tds 28-222 in the air.

Had he even switched from WR before Samuel left?

I read an article on TG and saw that he was planning on transferring until the coaches asked him to move to RB once Samuel left. That changed his mind and the rest is history.
