Tarik Cohen might be the most exciting player in all of college football.
The 5-foot-6 inch ball of energy had 236 all-purpose yards and scored two easy touchdowns against hapless Hampton Thursday night.
The Pirates defenders appeared as if they were stuck in mud attempting to apprehend Cohen, as he shimmied his way for big plays through would-be tacklers all night?
There maybe bigger, stronger and more heralded players in the sport, but few tantalize between the white lines.
