RB Paul Perkins

Former UCLA RB Paul Perkins got into the game with under 40 seconds in the first half and receiving two consecutive draw plays where he got to demonstrate his ability to run between the tackles which drew cheers from the crowd.

He returned in the second half but didn’t look as definitive in his runs. He still ended his night with a solid seven carries for 36 yards for a 5.1 average. However the black mark on his night was a fumbled exchange between him and backup QB Logan Thomas.

If he can clean those little mistakes up, Perkins will no doubt receive plenty of playing time going forward despite the deep backfield in New York.
