College Note - Georgia State Marcus Carroll

Last season Marcus Carroll was part of a three-pronged running attack at Georgia State, sharing carries with Tucker Gregg and Jamyest Williams to produce the top rushing numbers in the Sun Belt Conference. This spring, with the graduation of his compadres, Carroll is getting used to the idea of being the main man. While others will be mixed into the equation, it's Carroll who will bear the brunt of keeping the chains moving on the ground.

It's a responsibility he's happy to accept. "Being the No. 1 guy is nice," he said.

"I'll just do whatever I can. If I get the ball 20 times a game and it helps us win, I don't mind taking that load for the team. " He got a taste of it last season when Williams missed four games because of injuries.

Carroll wound up with 127 carries for 622 yards, a 4. 9-yard average, and six touchdowns. He had 100-yard games against Old Dominion and a season-high 143 yards and a school record-tying three touchdowns against Southern Mississippi.

"I got out there, and I was able to make some plays and help the team out," he said. "It's been a great journey. " - Marietta Daily Journal .
