I agree...I have no idea what the reason for his departure was but i really enjoyed watching Corbin run, except for the two fumbles at USD, I thought he was fun hard runner to watch.
I'm pretty sure he had a broken hand at that time, so it was hard to hold onto the ball. He seemed to break a decent amount of runs over 30 yards, which was incredible because of his size. It's sad to see a young guy with so much promise screw up. I never seen anything in the papers, like him being charged with a crime or anything. But he must've done something wrong.
I don't recall the broken hand. I do remember the fumbles because they were both so critical in that game. I don't recall any fumbles the rest of the year though. He was a big strong back with decent speed and for a big guy he could break some runs. I was looking forward to seeing him back this season and then I heard he was not with the team any longer. I hope it works out well for him. The Birds still have some pretty impressive talent in the backfield. Lots of changes on the offensive side of the ball and it will be interesting how this impacts recruiting and the offensive philosophy next season.
