"SPARTANBURG, S.C. -- When Michael Hobbs broke a 99-yard touchdown run against Georgia Southern on Nov. 4, 2006, he joined an elite club of NCAA athletes. The feat has only been accomplished 11 times in NCAA history – five times at the Division I-A level and six at the Division I-AA level.

When a Georgia Southern punt forced the Wofford Terriers to start at their own 1-yard line, quarterback Josh Collier lined up in the shotgun formation, five yards deep in his own end zone, with fullback Michael Hobbs at his side in the backfield. Collier took the snap and handed the ball to Hobbs who plowed through the middle of the line, broke two arm tackles and took off at a dead sprint toward the end zone. Downfield, wide receivers Colby Harris and Andy Strickland threw two key blocks for Wofford’s junior workhorse, and he went untouched the rest of the way to score."

That's right...everyone go ahead and get your jollys in while you can:nod:

I guess I would too if I weren't a GSU fan. Give the Eagles a year or two and they will be back in winning form.

Correct his time frame to 4 years or when Van Gorder has left.

Which ever comes first because he has murdered the once successful program of Georgia Southern.

What I want to know is, has any fullback in NCAA history ever run 99 yards for a TD before that?

I am sure this is not true of everyone. But from what I have seen people have been pretty damn supportive of you guys. You beat yourself up a hell of a lot more than we do
