Around SBN: Why Hockey Fans Should Root For Devils Vs. Kings

Big 12 Special Teams Player of the Week
Ben McRoy, Texas Tech, Athlete, So, Lakeland, Fla.
Ben McRoy set the TTU single-game record for kickoff returns and yardage in Texas Tech's 35-34 come-from-behind win over Nevada. The sophomore returned seven kicks for 203 yards and gave the Red Raiders a huge advantage in field position. With Tech trailing 34-28 with 4:50 remaining in the game, McRoy saved his best for last with a 41-yard return that set up the game-winning touchdown.

Congrats, Ben!

Nice work out there. The good field position was a huge part of the winning drive.

Congrats to Ben

The coaches MUST get him a few more touches in the game. Some of us remember Nehemiah Glover, a game changer!!!

Goof stuff from McRoy.

Simple rule of thumb: Everything before the but is BS.

Do we agree

To shotgun a beer on his first td return?
It will happen….my guess is against ATM.

Congrats!

Coach T said that he runs so fast that sometimes his legs can’t keep up with his feet, which causes him to slip. Trying to teach him to run with more control without sacrificing his fantastic speed.

Did you see McRoy trip over his own feet Saturday !

Made me laugh, he was on his way to a big, big play though.

Someone could do a good cartoon with McRoy and his eggbeater legs.

Regardless, he is making impact with what he brings to the game, we will see him get one soon.

Glad to see McRoy get recognition for his efforts

He made a significant contribution with relatively few touches.

Now let’s work on having fewer kickoff returns …

by rednblackET on Sep 26, 2011 11:09 AM CDT reply actions  

Awesome!

We need to give him more touches on Offense too! That young man is FAST!!!

"There is no chance he will win, but if you think about it carefully he would be a pretty good candidate. He says a lot with no substance, he's proven he can be bought, he's dishonest, and he has the personality of a TV evangelist so I think he would be perfect in Washington!"-- Mike Leach (When asked if he would vote for Craig James for Senate)

Can’t wait to see his bro along side him.

We have an offensive player and a special teams player make this list already.

Looking for the first defensive players.

Keep up the good work
The speed and coordination will come
