Garcon Nation's lone bright spot Pierre Garcon started at wide receiver and returned a punt 62 yards for a touchdown, providing a rare bright moment for the Nation team in a 41-14 loss in the Texas vs. The Nation game. Garcon, a D3football.com first team All-American at wide receiver for Mount Union, also caught three passes for 23 yards and had a tackle. Mary Hardin-Baylor's Jerrel Freeman, the D3football.com Defensive Player of the Year, made one tackle at linebacker for Texas. Trinity (Texas) quarterback Blake Barmore and Wheaton defensive end Andy Studebaker were on the Texas and Nation rosters, respectively, but did not play. Studebaker is still recovering from surgery at the end of the Thunder's season. |
