It's hard to fairly state how good a 2012 season Marcorus Garrett had for the Lions.
With 957 rushing yards on just 208 carries, he logged the #3 best single season rushing total in CU history.
And he got started right away.
In the 1st half of the season opener alone, Garrett already had 60 yards rushing. But he was just getting started.
Columbia got the ball first at its own 13 to start the second half against Marist, trailing 3-0. Nine plays later, the Lions had a 1st and goal at the 10 and just let Garrett take over. His first carry went for nine yards, and the he ran the ball in from the one on the very next play to give Columbia its first TD and lead of the new season.
Garrett would finish the game with 115 yards on the ground and two catches for another 14. It was the first 100 yard rushing game for a Columbia RB in 17 games and the first 30-carry game by a CU rusher in 12 years.
