MIAMI ( Sept. 5, 2018) - FIU running backs coach Tim Harris likes to good-naturedly rib running back Anthony Jones about his "speed" from time to time.
Last Saturday after a touchdown run against Indiana was probably not one of those times.
Jones, who was playing in his first game since undergoing knee surgery last year, made a slick move on a Hoosiers linebacker and darted 36 yards for a touchdown outrunning the Indiana defense.
"I tried to turn on my speed because coach Harris is always messing with me about my speed," said a smiling Jones.
