On the drive, Dampier was officially subbed out. The nice thing is, you don’t have to worry about quarterback play when your running back can hit the hole like a freight train.

He gave freshman QB Byrd Ficklin a chance to shake the nerves out on his first collegiate drive under center.

Halfway through the third quarter, Parker had 102 scrimmage yards with two touchdowns on six carries and one reception.
