12/23/2003
Marshall University running back Franklin "Butchie" Wallace has been added to the blue roster for the upcoming Blue-Gray Classic in Troy, Alabama, on Christmas Day.
Wallace, a Myrtle Beach, S.C., native, rushed for 729 yards and six touchdowns in 10 games this season. He joins Marshall linemen Nate McPeek and Luke Salmons on the Blue team offense that is being coached by Marshall head coach Bob Pruett and Marshall quarterbacks coach Larry Kueck.
The Blue Gray Classic is the first post-season all-star game of the year and is making a return following a one-year hiatus. This year, the 65th Blue Gray game will be played on Christmas Day at Movie Gallery Stadium in Troy, Ala., and be broadcast live on ESPN2 at 3:00 p.m. (EST).
