wow what a role model

[Coty224]

We're happy to have Marcus!!! Very humble player, he executes the play, gets up, tightens his helmet and goes back to the huddle and does it all over again, not to mention the fact that he doesn't tire and he gets better as the game goes on and he can carry the ball as many times as you need him to. Go Gamecocks!!!!!!!!!!!
