Running back Travis Homer had big shoes to fill on Saturday. Mark Walton was off to an outstanding start to this season before suffering numerous recurrences to an ankle injury he initially suffered against Toledo. The ankle required season-ending surgery after the victory over Florida State.
Homer ran the ball 20 times for 170 yards and a touchdown and caught two passes for another 18 yards and another touchdown. He ran with power and purpose. Homer also showed breakaway speed. Homer also spoke after the game.
