I wrote a story for today's newspaper looking back at defensive end Antonio Coleman's senior season. Here's how it starts:
AUBURN, Ala. — For weeks, Auburn defensive end Antonio Coleman told anyone who would listen that after he got the restrictive cast off his right wrist, it was on.
“A lot of the guys on the team probably thought I was playing,” he said.
Coleman wasn’t lying. The defensive end turned in the kind of second half of the season he envisioned when he returned to the Plains for his senior year.
In the Tigers’ final five games, Coleman had 25 1/2 tackles, six sacks and 10 1/2 tackles for a loss, cementing his place on the All-SEC first team after finishing the season atop the league leaderboard in sacks (nine) and tackles for a loss (15 1/2).
“If I hadn’t had that cast, it probably wouldn’t have been a foot race for who had the most sacks,” he said.

I really admire this, I mean it really looks interesting! Very nice write up. Anyways, its a Great post.
Do Bowl game stat count toward career and single season records? Coleman and several others players are within a shot of the lead in various categories or could at least move up with a big game vs. Northwestern. Although Coleman needs 2 ½ to tie for the all time sack lead, the Wildcats do throw the ball and lot and it could happen.
I think they changed the rule a while back so that postseason stats do count on career totals.
I really admire this, I mean it really looks interesting! it's quite informative for readers.
Thanks for sharing and keep up the good work..
