PJ Martin’s Homecoming Rush | Birmingham News

PJ Martin’s big moment is here: after four years waiting his turn, the South Alabama running back finally steps into the starting role and heads home to New Orleans for a showdown against Tulane. Grew up in the city, played high school ball there — now he’s back to play in front of family and friends. Last season’s back injury held him back, but his explosive debut against Southeastern Louisiana — 18 carries, 69 yards, game-sealing TD — proved he’s ready. Coaches rave about his mental growth and work ethic. The team’s run game lit up in Week 1, defense shut down key conversions, and special teams nailed every kick. Momentum’s building — and they’re hungry to keep it going against Tulane this Saturday. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
