I think we all can agree the importance of the comeback win vs Syracuse to preserve our season. There was no denying the brilliance of Etienne in the run game. But often overlooked was Feasters contribution at the end of that game.
Etienne was tired (remember he went 27 carries for 203 yards in that game and had carried 24 times when Feaster came in on the last drive). Etienne was stopped short of the 1st down to set up Chase Brice heroics on 4th down (while he didn’t make much of a block, Feaster DID position himself between Brice and the only d-lineman with a chance to get to him). Feaster ultimately had two first down carries on that drive including an 11-yard run for first and goal after Etienne was stuffed for one yard loss at the 16. He then took it down to the 2 and Etienne took it in for the touchdown.

I thought about that same play when I heard he wanted a transfer. Just the way he looked coming out of the game at the 2 yd line. I think he really wanted that TD.
