According to ESPN at the end of the game:

 

7 carries with 33 yards which is 4.7 yards per carry.   He also caught one pass for 8 yards.  Even the announcers mentioned that he'd shown something in the game though.  He was half a yard shy of an 8 yard through traffic TD.

His longest run was for 18 yards.

Came across a few good articles on our boy...

https://www.nbcsports.com/bayarea/49ers/jeff-wilson-thankful-after-pow-wow-49ers-coach-got-his-mind-right

SANTA CLARA — 49ers running back Jeff Wilson says a heart-to-heart with his position coach was key to the turning point in his rookie year. 

“Me and my coach had a pow-wow,” Wilson said. “Me and Bobby Turner had a pow-wow about two weeks ago. Just me and him. I then I just got my mind right and just went from there.”

As for Wilson, the 49ers promoted the rookie running back from the team's practice squad on Saturday before the game and served as Matt Breida's primary backup against the Bucs. Wilson's play in practice is what warranted the call-up to the active roster. He showed well in his NFL debut, running for 33 yards on seven carries (4.7 average) and added one catch for eight yard

So proud of him.  He will represent the university well wherever he goes.  He's always so humble.

Looks like Breida is limited in practice this week.  Jeff should get a lot of reps.

Complete garbage QB. Coming from a Texans fan. Also made of glass.

      Seton Hall star Kadary Richmond enters transfer portal

      Even the "Brand" programs are losing players to the portal. Maybe Ross can sign this guy for us? I heard he likes to play slow offense and lots of defense. https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/40025291/seton-hall-star-kadary-richmond-enters-transfer-portal "Seton Hall star Kadary Richmond entered the transfer portal Thursday afternoon, potentially becoming the best player available in the portal. Richmond had long been rumored to be considering a transfer, with Big East and area rival St. John's a potential landing spot for the Brooklyn native."

      G5s Finally Getting Together......Talking About Their Future

      You guys are all delusional. I have a hard time believing that the cut-off will be 30ish teams. Its obvious that's where it is in reality, and dollars (revenue, budgets, etc). But too many of these schools have enough delusional donors who are willing to keep throwing money at it. Why does NIL make that change? I think most of you don't actually talk to any of these big money guys. They aren't jumping out....they are jumping in. And always have. Now it's legal to pay players to win...so anyone with a conscious before when it was illegal doesn't have that hanging over them now. See SMU, Baylor, etc. We're all a bunch of poor schmo's here. Look at the scroll that runs across this very site. That ain't big money scrolling through here. True some of the big donors post on here, but not the Ryans or the 4 billionaire types that fund dirty schmoo.

      A-Scott Projected to OU

      Its in Queens, not Manhattan! I briefly looked at SJU when looking for grad schools, its a very unique university, its not for every student and that includes athletes. I dont know if they have the easiest time recruiting, sure its NYC, but there are plenty of quality programs near NYC. They do have Pitino, but how long is he sticking around?
