Terron Ward has impressive 2016 debut

Running back Terron Ward rushed for a team-leading 46 yards in six carries, with a 26-yard run, and had one reception for 11 yards on Sunday in a 33-32 win over the Green Bay Packers to lead Oregon State alums in Week 8 of the National Football League season.

Terron was activated from the practice squad prior the week before the game and it was his first action of the regular season.

"Our motto here is 'Next man up,' and that's the motto I live by," Ward said. "You always have to be ready. You do your job and you don't worry about anything else."
