Credit somebody here at CF (can't remember who) that spotted Shane Porter early in the season. Don't think he got a carry til Week 3; He's had a weird roller coaster season for sure looking at his Weekly Stats;.....Back in mid November Porter put up Video-game Stats vs UTSA (13 carries 193 Yards 3 TDs! & 13 - 120 vs Wyoming in Sept.) ; in other games 4 carries for minus 1 yard ; or 2 carries for 12 yards etc

He just wants a Scholarship from what i understand....WHY would the Mean Green not give their Leading Rusher this??
Today he only got 2 carries (5 yards); however no other RB on the team had more than 7 carries .
Did they punish him today ; since he's entering the Transfer Portal? Wonder where he ends up??


Ironically today Texas State RB Lincoln Pare rushed for 143 Yards too! ...the EXACT total Skattebo had vs Texas.... 143 Rushing!!!

Terrell Owens likes Cam Skattebo and compares him to Marshawn Lynch. That is also my best pro comp for Skattebo. Very similar running style and identical size.
