I hope so - definitely have a promising young team if the coaches have learned to keep their foot on the gas!

Guys like you give conservatives a bad name. A white guy (if it matters) won LAST YEAR. Don’t you believe in merit? Don’t you believe in the best winning regardless of skin color? Are you in favor of affirmative action in college athletics? You sound like a liberal.

Great response. PermaRag and his ilk won’t respond. They’ll just slink back into their holes.

I dunno ... the notion of a taboo structure for social behavior seems to have disappeared from American culture.

Manziel in 2012. There have been 8 others since 2000.

“can’t even really tell what Mariota is”. What does that even mean? Is he in danger of not passing some racial purity test in your eyes?

I watched the Alabama/Tennessee game this year. I remember thinking that if I didn’t know the score, I would have thought Tennessee was winning.

Of course scoring points is the way the decide who wins. I am an Alabama fan btw.

Who would want that albatross of an award anyways. Isn’t usually a career killer?

What are you talking about? Mark Ingram has 100+ all purpose yards each week in the last two years. (except when injured.)

Trent Richardson is the one who hasn’t performed well. Also, Eddie Lacy did not make it to New York, but he was a great running back for Bama. He has done well in the NFL though this year has had some nagging injuries.

That must be why an Oregon player won last year.

Derrick and his blocking back and the tremendous offensive line deserve it, too, and the graciousness of Derrick Henry acknowledged that repeatedly.

It will be interesting to see if Michigan State can do what Florida sought to do but could not get it done. The Florida coach said before the game ‘We have to find a way to stop that big running back.’ Coker is a tremendous passer and can do a bit of running himself. I don’t think Mich State has faced a team like Bama this year. State has a really good team. Gonna be a real war in the trenches.
