Meet the 2009 Starters: #5 – Roy Upchurch, Running Back

 


Image:  RollTide.com

Full Name: Roy Elman E. Upchurch

Actual Starting Status: Was making his case for best overall back on the team last year before a neck injury ended his season.  He and Mark Ingram are probably 1A and 1B.  Or maybe they’re A1 and A2.  They might possibly be “wishbone co-starters”.  You never know what offense we’re going to come out in, Va Tech…we switch offenses every year, only to go back to our old offense when it’s not effec…wait, sorry, that’s not us.

Future Profession: Model for Armed Forces recruiting posters.


“I want you!  No, not you.  You in the third row.  Hawaiian shirt.  Yeah, you.

Self-Admitted Weakness: Can’t do “The Worm” nearly as well as Georgia LB Rennie Curran.

    This guy blows. The sad thing is that he was Shula’s best recruit. I bet you Bammers still $paid$ for him too. We have at least 5 backs better than your boy Roy.

    Yes, it was evident Auburn was flush with backfield talent in their spectacular 5-7 season. Alabama rushed for 234 yards in the Iron Bowl compared to 30 for Auburn. Way to go running back U.

    FYI–Roy’s middle name is spelled Elmon. Any idea what the second ‘E’ stands for?
