When Bulldogs Fly

Knowshon Moreno (Georgia’s star running back) is making it clear that he was no fluke last year and that all would-be defenders need watch out any time he’s got the ball. This is a Bulldog that can outrun you, out-strength you, or if all else fails, he’ll just jump right over you like an Olympic hurdler.

This previous Saturday in a matchup between the Georgia Bulldogs and Central Michigan, Moreno led the way as the Bulldogs trounced the Chippewas 56-17.  Moreno himself tallied three of those touchdowns en route to his 168 yards-gained performance. Moreno once again displayed his talent to make a defender miss in a small area and to simply run over the defenders he can’t elude. But one play stood far above the rest.

In the third quarter, when the Bulldogs were already set on cruise control to an easy victory, Moreno took a hand off around his right end where he encountered Chippewa safety Vince Agnew. Agnew went for the knees. Mistake. Moreno simply hurdled in the incoming tackler and continued on his way for a 29-yard gain.

That was just one of the many eye-popping athletic feats Moreno accomplished Saturday. Many more happened and (to the vexation of future opposition) will continue to happen.
