'Deuce' becomes No. 1 |
|
|
GREENVILLE —
"Deuce" is how East Carolina
football coach Ruffin McNeill
refers to senior inside wide
receiver Justin Hardy. It's
because Hardy wears uniform No.
2.
"Deuce" became No. 1 on
Saturday, moving ahead of former
Oklahoma receiver Ryan Broyles
for the most career catches in
Football Bowl Subdivision
history. ...

HISTORY IN
THE MAKING:
Much to
Vanceboro
native
Justin
Hardy's
surprise, a
mammoth
banner was
unfurled
from the
Murphy
Center soon
after the
senior wide
receiver
made his
350th career
catch during
East
Carolina's
34-6 victory
over Tulane
on Saturday
at
Dowdy-Ficklen
Stadium. The
play pushed
Hardy past
the previous
NCAA FBS
career
receptions
record set
by
Oklahoma's
Ryan Broyles
in 2011.
Hardy hauled
in nine
passes for
104 yards
against the
Green Wave
and finished
the day with
355 career
receptions.
