Noel Devine is a maniac

Anyone see him tonight versus Maryland? 5 carries, 136 yards. His first three rushes went for 125, his long for 76. Little guy is a lightning bolt out there.

If you missed Devine's performance, you can see it here. Watch at the end of the video not only how he keeps running after being the victim of a 15-yard facemask, but also watch the close up of him juking Maryland defenders left and right on that final run.

It's simply incredible to watch him run. I saw his high school highlights a year or two ago and have been keeping an eye on him ever since. A friend of mine was lucky/smart enough to land Steve Slaton and Devine on his college fantasy football team. Team name: Devine Intervention (stolen from the headline of a good write-up on SI.com about him).

I was glad to see that he made it into WV after some questions were brought up about his past and academic eligibility. Barring injury, he is a future NFL star for certain.

Here are his high school highlights:
