After Tulsa's impressive 35-20 victory at UCF, here's where things stand in the Hurricane record books, as several players continue to move up the charts: INSIDE THE NUMBERS.
Inside the Numbers - Week 11 (from Chad Bonham)
- Thread starter Chris Harmon
- Start date
This is a fantastic read thanks for putting it together Chad. Really enjoyed it.
Flanders needs 190 yards to become the leading rusher in a season? Gotta think that's possible at Cindy (someone spell checked Cinci to Cindy in a post and I'm going with it). Certainly with the bowl.

Hines just tweeted that TU's OL was not included among the 18 semi-finalists for the Joe Moore Aware which is given to the best OL unit. Not sure what the hell this committee is looking at or watching. Then again, it's another chip on the shoulder for this team. Cincy is in trouble.
He needs 191 to tie Tarrion Adams (2008). Probably will take two games considering the shared load between he and Brewer, but you never know.
What's even crazier is that Brewer needs 234 yards to have the second most yards in a season. We could have the top 2 rushing performances in the same year!

Lol sharing time doesn't seem to slow him down, with over 160 against UCF and 180 against ECU. Wonder if Monty might give him some more carries too if he's close. No matter what, having two top 5 rushers in the same season is absolutely crazy! I hope he gets it. Love Tarrion but Flanders embracing his role and stepping up and all has been pretty darn special to watch.
Tarion Adams is one of my all time favorite players to play at TU. Just one heck of a football player.
I doubt Flanders gets more reps for that purpose. If anything, Coach Montgomery is probably more apt to get Atkinson more looks since he's the one furthest from that 1,000-yard mark. I think that's the record this team wants more than anything.

Won't ever forget the game where he threw for a TD, rushed for one & caught one. The football "trifecta", so to speak! (Although I have forgotten who the unfortunate opponent was).
In the 2008 CUSA championship game, I believe if we had just fed Tarion the ball, we would've driven down the field for a touchdown to win the game. I know Marion went down with the knee injury on the pass play that got intercepted to basically seal the win for East Carolina, but from where I sat, the pass looked high and may have been picked anyway.
So Atkinson needs 70 yards receiving in the Bowl game for TU to get the record.
Totally and 100% possible!
