Rather than griping about the carries being taken away, Perry is appreciative of the fact that he is in such a varying offense when it comes to the running game.

“It’s not been a problem,” Perry said. “We believe in each other, and the wing-T is like a trick offense, you never know who’s going to run.”

While Perry is about to stand above the rest in the record books, he stands even with every other running back, receiver, quarterback and other fellow teammates when he pulls on the scarlet jersey, and that’s the way he prefers it.

“He’s a total team player,” McPherson said. “He works hard, is a ‘yes sir, no sir’ guy. He’s great in the classroom, and represents the school very well.”
