Old Dominion re-started football in 2009, and offensively was a balanced attack that relied on quarterback Thomas DeMarco to both run and pass. DeMarco led the team in rushing that year with nearly 900 yards and passed for another 1,921. Since that first season, the offense morphed into a throw it around the field type offense with quarterback Taylor Heinicke, who is currently in the NFL with the Minnesota Vikings. The offense turned full circle in 2016, as running backs Ray Lawry and Jeremy Cox combined for 1,987 yards and helped ODU set a new single-season rushing record.
This is ODU running backs, by the numbers.
