Gerald Riggs Jr.

[GAVol]

Ainge and the defense will get the headlines, but how about Riggs stepping up tonight? He didn't have eye popping numbers, but he sure got some tough yards against a defense that was selling out to stop the run.

 

[MemphisVol]

Sure did.

Of course you've got to give Trooper a big helpin' of that love too. Riggs was a kid who'd given up on being appreciated because everybody else seemed to have given up on him due to his early bad work habits and attitude. In less than 1 year, Trooper not only overcame the kid's why-try-if-they-assume-I'm-a-loser attitude, but fired up his heart and will to the point that he was not just ready but able to step up and act like a starting RB against a #3 team when our true starter wasn't "on" tonight.

Riggs got 102 yds today , imagine what he could do if he quit tippy toeing into the hole. He needs some Majors north-south running and learn about yards after contact, no more Hucking and Bucking!!! Go back and watch film of Travis Stephens running an you will see a guy hitting the hole at wide open.

Lady, you gonna pick Ole Miss next week?

 

[GIVEHIM-6]

What can ya say,Riggs felt a little groove tonight and he worked it.

 

[milohimself]

Props to the guy. He had some mad running.

 

[Volstorm]

Houston would make 2 yards carrying the ball, and then Riggs would make some big gains. Very happy for Riggs.

Back to the topic....Riggs earned a lot of my respect last night. Best game he has had as a vol.

 

[volmanjr]

[LadyinOrange]

How come they always show Anthony Munoz and never Gerald Riggs Sr. at the games? Doesn&#39;t he come?
