A.J. Rose finally had his breakout moment today against Central Michigan. The Redshirt Sophmore only carried the rock eight times, but he ended the game with 104 yards and two touchdowns. This was Rose’s first career 100-yard performance, and he picked up his first career touchdown in the season opener, as well.
He will play a huge role going forward if he can keep up his contributions, as a nice compliment back to his roommate, Benny Snell. After the game, Benny was all about A.J.’s performance, saying:
“We on it now, we woke them up…this has been a long time coming, this was our plan.
