For a running back patience is a virtue.
That could not be truer for sophomore back Rashaad Penny.
“That’s something I learned from last year,” he said. “Just being patient and waiting your turn. That’s what I feel like everybody has done here. When they finally got their number called they executed well.”
Last season as a true freshman Penny had only two offensive touches and was relegated to kickoff returns, where he ran back 20 for an average of 25 yards per return.
Fast-forward one year, and a lot of patience by Penny, and he has all but forced the San Diego State football coaching staff to find ways to get him the ball.
