Let's Not Forget About Beanie

Everyone's talking about Terrelle Pryor's performance last night, and deservedly so. The guy wasn't great, but he was pretty good all game and was great when it mattered, on that last drive. But while Pryor may be the headlight machine guns of this James Bond car of an offense, Beanie Wells is the engine, the oil slick dispenser, the assorted parts that convert it to a submarine, and probably the passenger side ejector seat as well. 22 carries for 168 yards and a touchdown is not too shabby, and neither was this: And, of course, let's not forget the even more impressive Stiff Arm of ...

X-in' and O-in' with actual coach Tyler Sellhorn.
