Charles Pierre Alfred Morris
@ Texas - 6 carries/4 Yards @ Nebraska 18/95
Vs. UAB 13/138 @ South Carolina 22/79
@ Michigan State 12/57 vs. ULM 23/122
@ Minnesota 10/70 vs. Wyoming 19/81
@ Middle Tennessee 11/41 @ North Texas 29/147
vs. Troy 6/8 @ ULL 24/181
@WKU 23/194 vs. MTSU
@ULM 16/83 @UAB
Vs. UNT 12/140 Vs. Ark State
Vs. ULL 10/109 @ Troy
@ Ark. State 12/31 Vs. WKU
Vs. FIU 14/63 @ FIU
@CMU 16/77
Pierre - 161 attempts, 1,014 rushing yards Morris - 135 attempts, 705 rushing yards
Average yards per game - 6.2 Average yard per game 5.2
So through the first 6 games Morris has 705 rushing yards, compared to Pierre who had 317 yards, through his first 6 games last season.
Over the next 6 games (not including the bowl game), Pierre had 620 rushing yards. Over the next 6 games Morris needs 233 rushing yards to rush for more yards in the same amount of games as Pierre did, and 296 yards to run for over 1,000 yards this season (again not including a bowl game)
My two favorite teams are FAU, and who ever is beating FIU!

Pierre was averaging 6.2 yards per carry and only averaging 12 carries per game. What a shame. Imagine what he may have accomplished with 20+ carries a game.
Agreed….but I think his yards per carry are skewed by UAB, North Texas, ULL, and WKU. Take those games out and he goes down to 4.2 yd/carry. I think his big problem was consistency. Against Troy and Texas he went nowhere, then against the above teams he was tearing up the field. Morris is, even against good teams, consistent. He gained no less than 79 yds against a team…even Nebraska gave up almost 100 yds. Pierre was a lot like Rusty.. streaky and dependent on the defense he played against. Morris doesn't care if you are Florida (who he will have a chance to play against as a Senior) or Louisiana Lafayette…he is going to BAM BAM BAM all day long.

And don't forget, Morris is a redshirt sophomore. Not a senior. His first year as a tail back also.
But I will never forget seeing Pierre carry half the CMU defense on his back in the MCB.

A lot of you didn't see the game against ULL. In the 4th quarter towards the end of the game, Morris gets the ball and it sure looked like it was maybe a 1 yard gain or maybe no gain at all, then next thing you know he just busts through the entire ULL defense runs the ball for 57 yards for a TD. It reminded me a lot of the Pierre play you're talking about, but instead of players on his back he turned a 1 yard gain into a 57 yard TD

Our offensive line is also the most impressive it has ever been. It gives Morris an extra step to gain momentum and makes it that much more difficult to bring him down.
Really? I think our OLine has underachieved all year.
Teambeer is the most knowledgeable FAU sports fan I know, way smarter than me.

Physically, I think they are the best ever. They have not been pushed around. Mentally, they had a couple breakdowns with some silly penalties early on, but yes, I think they are solid.
