Catches TD Blue only ran for seven yards on two carries, but he had two catches for 69 yards and a touchdown against KSU on Saturday.
Impact With a redshirt freshman making his first start at quarterback, it isn't surprising the one real juice the passing game had came from a running back doing most of the work on a 59-yard score. Blue was stuck behind the remarkable Evan Dickens this season, but Dickens was so good he'll likely have his choice of Power Four programs if so inclined. If Blue sticks it out with the Flames, he could be the lead back in 2026.

Rushes for TD Blue ran three times for 23 yards and a score Saturday against FIU. He also caught one pass for 36 yards.
Impact A touchdown is nice, and the 36-yard reception makes up two-thirds of his receiving numbers on the campaign. There's a reason why the only game he's had more than five carries in was the one game Evan Dickens missed, though.

May be out some time Blue (lower body) may be out for some time, Jon Manson of A SeaofRed.com reports.
Impact Blue did not play in Weeks 4 and 5. Between the latter and Week 7, he suffered a setback, which is why Manson is adamant that the running back will return soon. Blue out indefinitely would open up Liberty's RB room for at least a little longer, especially going into a UTEP game where Evan Dickens (concussion) may also sit out.

Dealing with lower-body injury Blue has been dealing with a lower-body injury, Jon Manson of ASeaofRed.com reports.
Impact Blue did not play Week 4, Liberty's game a loss to James Madison, and the lower-body injury indicates why. "It takes probably a long time to heal, so you try to play through it a little bit. When you try and play through it, it hurts a little bit more. He moved around better (Monday). If he can go, he's going to go," Liberty's head coach Jamey Chadwell recently said.
