TTT Answer

The answer to this week’s Tiger Trivia Tuesday:

In 1990, Larry Porter set a single-game freshman rushing record for the Tigers, with 206 yards in a season-opening tie with Arkansas State. Whose record did he break?

In the third game of the 1979 season, freshman Danny Felts rushed for 145 yards for the Tigers in a 16-10 win over Wichita State. Alas, Felts’ light shone but briefly. He never again topped 100 yards and did not reach 1,000 for his Tiger career.
