    RB Damien Martinez enters the Portal

    No, 2008. UM was down 17-10 to start the 4th quarter. Harris hadn't done much all game (Graig Cooper was MVP for 3 quarters), but then he threw a TD to tie the game in the 4th and another to give UM the win in OT. Morris not only had a howitzer for an arm, he also ran a 4.65 at the combine...

    RB Damien Martinez enters the Portal

    Stephen Morris was a baller. Just had the bad luck to play for a bad coach. He could have done a lot of damage in a spread offense. If we'd played a normal non-covid schedule, I think D'Eriq King wins 10 games pretty much single handedly. And fans can knock Malik Rosier all they want, but...

    RB Damien Martinez enters the Portal

    Yeah I don't like that. Playing pickup basketball is just slightly behind "Likes street racing motorcycles" on the my list of things I don't want players doing in the offseason. Next story is always "[Insert player name] had his foot stepped on in a pickup basketball game, he is expected to...

    Let's take take #1-4, and #6, and call it a day.

    Looks like a Boeing 737 MAX crashing in the background.

    RB Damien Martinez enters the Portal

    Have you seen "Casa de mi padre" with Will Ferrell? Just give Martinez a script and he can pretend to talk in Spanish.

    RB Damien Martinez enters the Portal

    Have to believe that an elite RB with the last name of "Martinez" is going to have some insane NIL opportunities in Miami.

    RB Damien Martinez enters the Portal

    The top rush defense he faced was UCLA, which was #10. He rushed for 6.0 yards per carry, for 90 yards. I personally don't think total yards rushing is as important as yards per carry as the RB can't control the play calling or how many carries he gets. The next top D was Utah, #13, he...

    RB Damien Martinez enters the Portal

    Of all P5 unclassmen RBs (Fr or So.), he's either #1 or #2. I don't know what else people could ask for. I think the naysayers are hung up on the fact that he's not a SEC RB and he developed into a stud RB instead of being a 5 star out of HS. They'd rather have Lorenzo Lingard back.

    RB Damien Martinez enters the Portal

    He may not have elite speed but IMO he's an elite RB. No other P5 freshman or sophomore RB had as many rushing yards last year. The only P5 underclassman RB that had more yards per carry was Sawchuck ( Oklahoma) , who had 6.2 yards per carry, compared to 6.11 for Martinez. But Sawchuck only...

    RB Damien Martinez enters the Portal

    I think Martinez is one of the best all around RBs in the country. Are there faster RBs? Sure. But he is the ideal Cristobal RB as he has great vision and can pick up tough yards in the trenches to keep the chains moving. I don't think the defense is going to be very good this year, so ball...
