By Dylan Mickanen, NBC Sports Northwest: Oregon running back CJ Verdell has always been raised to aim high and it shows given his lofty goal in his fifth season as an Oregon Duck.
“Like my Dad says, ‘Reach past the stars and if you fall short you’ll be amongst the stars’ so a goal I set for myself is definitely 2,000 rushing yards,” said Verdell, Tuesday afternoon.
“I feel I can get it and my coaches feel I can get it. It’s just up to me.”
