MarShawn Lloyd Can’t Be Stopped

By: Daniel Poe

Standing at a respectable height of 5’9 and weighing a good 212 pounds, South Carolina Gamecock running back MarShawn Lloyd is a fast, compact man. He runs a 4.45 forty yard dash and can jump over 40 inches in the air. He used all those attributes on September 24 in a home matchup against the Charlotte 49ers. Scoring three touchdowns and 169 yards on only 15 carries, Lloyd dominated. He was like a microwave and heated up fast; in the first quarter he was dominating the Charlotte offensive line. He found paydirt in the very beginning of the second quarter with a 25 yard run. Finally, in the third quarter Lloyd had one of the most remarkable runs ever. With a 14 yard run, ending in a hurdle over a Charlotte defender, Lloyd was an unstoppable force for the Gamecocks in their 56-20 win.
