Clemson verbal commitment Marlin Lane, one of the top running backs in the nation, is doing a diary for TheClemsonInsider.com.  In this week’s edition Marlin discusses the Miami game, why he didn’t make it to Clemson, his plans to attend another game and more!

I didn’t make it up there this weekend.  Cortez made it, but I didn’t.  I was going to go up with one of my friend’s dad, but he decided not to go.  I was upset I didn’t get to make it.

I am going to go up on October 15.  I will get to see C.J. that weekend.

I played a couple of plays in the second half.  I had 88 yards from scrimmage including screen plays and a couple of catches.  They pulled me out so I didn’t play much.  We were winning big so they took me out.  We won 27-7.

My knee is coming along great.  I should get more playing time next week.

I wish I could have been there for the Clemson game.  I watched it on TV.  They did good.  They just made some mistakes.  They will get it together.

I’m still All In no matter what.  I can’t wait to get up there for the Maryland game.

I talked with coach Rumph.  We just talked about how I am doing.  He just wants to make sure I am doing well.
