Why Marlin Lane Changed Jersey #s

[supersmo18]

I noticed this year in the O&W game he was no longer #4, but had switched to #15 but I didn't know why. From utsports.com's jersey # countdown, here's his reasoning:

"I switched to the number 15 this season so I could honor my brother who turned 15 years old this year. I am also striving to run for 1,500 yards this season."

Not sure about how that last part will turn out, but pretty cool that he changed his # to honor his brother.

I really hope he'll have the chance to show more productivity this year. 1,500 yards is a very lofty goal, so good luck to him.

15 days..... eace2: :bammer: :corso:

I liked your post and 60% of the reason was for the the Corso thing at the bottom. That is hilarious!

 

[smokeyman15]

If he runs for 1,500 yards, we will be looking pretty.

 

[SCowlsVOL]

Shows how much he loves his fam. I hope he can make 1,500. He does that we will be in contention to win the East.

 

[YankeeVol]

1,500 yards would be sweet

 

[Majorvol23]

If he runs for 1,500, we're in the SEC championship game

So next year his goal will be 1600 yrds. 3100 in two years....I like it.

If we run for a combined team 1500 yards (125 game average) it will mean we will win a lot of games and compete in the big games with a good shot at winning. Well, with good defensive play for that matter...........

Maybe Bray should change his jersey number to 40.

My guess is that he likes #15, but can't say "now that the number was freed because Janzen was stupid"

Bray has a 40-year-old brother?

 

[Brianchevy]

i bought a #4 jersey last year to honor Lane, I guess now i'll wear it because that's the number of games I expect us to lose this year.

I was thinking 0 for no interceptions lol:

15

1 + 5 = 6

1 (Lane) + 5 (lineman) = 6 (TD)

 

[ChuckNorris]

Good info, Smo!

 

[ellunitiko]

What the hell, I guess he can't honor his brother's 16th bday next year.

This stinks. I've got a #4 Jersey from the alumn store at the mall two years ago. There's no name on it so I keep using it. So far it's been Gerald Jones and most recently Lane. Who's #4 now?

 

[tomq_123]

But with #4 he could have run for 4000 yards....

 

[tri_vol]

If he runs for 1,500, we're in the national championship game

Fyp

 

[Lizzard28]

He better worry about being in the starting rotation first. According to Chaney, Neal and DY are ahead of Lane right now

15

1 + 5 = 6

1 (Lane) + 5 (lineman) = 6 (TD)

aaaha I see what your doing there !!k:

 

[madbamahater]

Team Stats (TEAM) rushing 2011 season:

1081 yards rushing *as a TEAM!!!!!
2.8 yards per carry with a long rush of only 40 or 45 yards.

Some games were HORRID and I believe resulted in negative rushing yards, negative!!!!!

Anything would be an improvement one would hope!!!!

Don't know either. But, I can't think of a much better mindset for a Sophomore RB going into the year.
