So far this year Malik Dear has just one rushing attempt for six yards and three catches for 35 yards….and all of it came vs. UMass. The only other time he’s touched the ball was a kickoff return at LSU.
In 2015 as a true freshman, Dear had 110 rushing yards (10 YPC) and 23 catches for 226 yards. He exhibited great athleticism that had State fans really excited to see what he could do as a sophomore.
But he was suspended for the opener vs. South Alabama and all but suspended until the UMass game. Even against the Minutemen, however, he didn’t get enough touches for my liking.
