Coach Laqua:  “This guy can run and make plays. If he gets through the defense, he’s gone, and nobody is catching him. It is exciting, you want to have a gamebreaker at running back that when things are blocked up and there’s a chance to make a big one, he will pop a big one. You look at what he’s done at camps and we have liked him from our camps since he was a junior. We are looking forward to Owen putting on the Dragon uniform.”
