Moreno's motor might not stop until Downtown Athletic Club
ATHENS, Ga. -- All the great ones have stories.
Knowshon Moreno's start: Bayshore Middle School in New Jersey. There were 25, 30 kids in a P.E. class that day. Little Knowshon lined them up and told them to come get a piece.
"Weaved through the whole class without getting touched," Steve Antonucci said. "I don't think anybody came even close to him."
The tale came to Antonucci, Moreno's high school coach, second hand, but has been repeated enough times to become urban legend. Fortunately, there are now cameras around each Saturday to document reasonable facsimiles of what Moreno did in P.E. class.
Welcome to the Heisman class of 2008. We're not saying Moreno,
Georgia's redshirt sophomore tailback, is going to win the award but why not? We heard all the stories about Tim Tebow coming out of high school. He surpassed the hype to become the first sophomore to win the statue. Moreno is at least the next big thing in the SEC, maybe the country.
