University of Cincinnati running back Charles McClelland crossed the goal line at the 7:45 mark in the third quarter last Friday night against Temple.
The 28-yard touchdown came on McClelland's fourth carry of the game and was the junior back's first score since Nov. 23, 2018. It was also his first score since suffering two torn ACLs, one in each knee.
"It was a long time coming," McClelland told The Enquirer. "Through all the work I've put in, I finally got in the end zone."
McClelland's backfield mate, fellow running back Jerome Ford, jokingly said McClelland's touchdown run looked like the movie scene when Forrest Gump breaks through his leg braces.
