Blue & Gold Posted October 6, 2016 Report Posted October 6, 2016 Story on Van Edwards from the Fort Myers News Press. http://www.news-press.com/story/sports/college/football/2016/10/03/van-edwards-picking-up-steam-zips/91465988/ Thank God for the internet. We've got to rely on out of town news sources to read about our Akron players. Good grief. 1 Quote
Blue & Gold Posted October 6, 2016 Author Report Posted October 6, 2016 (edited) ^^The article state Edwards had 227 all-purpose yards against K.e.nt. I knew he had a nice game but I wouldn't have guess that many! Way to go VE23!!! Edit: Ah... as I read the article the 227 all-purpose yards includes kick off return yardage (of course). That's still a lot of yardage though Edited October 6, 2016 by Blue & Gold Quote
Section210Zip Posted October 6, 2016 Report Posted October 6, 2016 It's crazy he had 156 yards on kickoff returns. Quote

And that was a huge decision by Paul Haynes - especially considering we only needed to get into field goal range to possibly send it into overtime. I remember when K.e.nt short-kicked it. I was shocked. I was thinking, "It's not like we've got JoJo Natson back there returning kick offs." But then in watching the replay, man, Van Edwards was eating them up on returns! Paul Haynes definitely knew what he was doing. Van Edwards changed the game! 1 Quote
Dr Z Posted October 6, 2016 Report Posted October 6, 2016 It's becoming pretty hard to argue with the success that coach Bowden's staff is having recruiting Florida. 1 Quote

I think it only gets better as the kids visiting UA see so many athletes they recognize from their own region. I'd think your a lot more comfortable coming to UA from central Florida when you meet 25 other Florida kids on your recruiting trip. It also is nice for parents, because trips to Akron to see their sons play are typically inexpensive, non-stop 2-hour flights. 1 Quote
