    Though he dropped the game winning touchdown reception against Oklahoma St last week.

    Considering the Red Raiders are only five games into the 2007 season, redshirt freshman Michael Crabtree's 14 touchdowns can only be described in one word - impressive.

    Extending his multiple touchdown game streak to five, Crabtree hauled in three Graham Harrell touchdown passes in the Red Raiders' 75-7 victory over Northwestern State setting a new single-season school record, while also tying the NCAA freshman mark.

    Crabtree finished the game with eight receptions for 135 yards, despite leaving the game midway through the third quarter.

    "I really didn't know until close to the end of the game when coaches started coming up to me and telling me," Crabtree said. "I was like, `freshman record? I didn't know anything about it.' I was kind of shocked at the end."

    Crabtree joins Florida's Jabar Gaffney (2000), Mike Williams (2002) of USC, and Devone Bess (2005) from Hawaii atop the NCAA freshman touchdown reception list.

    He now has 920 yards on the season and is three touchdowns from tying Oklahoma State's Rashaun Woods for the Big 12 record.

    Yeah Dwayne Slay was awesome, he'd go for the big hit every time, to bad he wasn't fast enough for the nfl.

    Crabtree is good, but lets not put him up there with Wes Welker yet.

    yeah I must admit Crabtree is pretty damn good. you can't put the "well it's just Mike Leach and his offense" tag on him cause he's burned everyone that's been on him including that deaf dude from OSU that's supposed to be pretty good.

    and yeah redraiderrocket i left right at halftime too :cool:

    Yeah, way to drop 75 on another I-AA opponent. Enjoy your annual 7-5 season.

    From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huddle

    "Though seemingly random, huddles can have several forms. In American Football, the huddle originated prior to the first collegiate football game in 1869. Prior to the 1890s, football players didn’t form “huddles,” they just stood around discussing the play far enough from the other team that they could not be overheard. As American Football became more organized and formalized, so too did the huddle. The huddle was formed by a deaf player who went to Gallaudet University in Washington, DC. To avoid having the other team see his sign language between plays, he and his team huddled together to conceal the signs."

    another?? That was our first 1-AA of the season! :D

    I think alot of Div. 1 football programs would be happy to go 7-5 each year - thats consistent winning and bowl berths, which is always good for the program and school.

    We'll most likely go 8-4 I think.
