During that game, he threw for 238 yards and completed 24 of 36 passes.Perhaps what made Plummer so versatile was the many ways in which he could move the offense upfield. Not only could he unleash the power of his arm to hurl the ball into the end zone, but he also used his legs to evade pressure and score himself. Plummer only had two rushing touchdowns and 189 yards this year, but both of the touchdowns came from marathon runs to the end zone. In the same Week 8 matchup, he threw for 238 yards and ran the ball 71 yards for a touchdown, his second rushing touchdown of the day and the longest run by a quarterback this past season. \u201cI also want to extend a special thank you to coach Becht. His leadership, trust and belief in me have had a tremendous impact on my development as a player and as a person. The culture he has built and the standards he sets every day have pushed all of us to be better.\u201d Plummer said.
