2016 Running Football Thread

airboy, I was convinced that Auburn was going to get smoked.  I saw what Watson did to Alabama in the Championship Game and I know Auburn doesn't have the same kind of defense as 'Bama does.  Kudos to Auburn for their great game!


@bayonetbrant: Don't you sweat the SEC, we'll be there in the end. :P

I asked a bunch of my buddies if they would take Auburn against the line (7.5 - 8 points).  I only found one person who would.  Then Auburn easily beat the line.

So your expectations were not off from the Auburn fans I know.  Auburn's defense played very well. 
Offense was weird.  They used 4 QBs and had a direct snap to a running back.  Nobody had the opportunity to get into any kind of rhythm.

you act like I didn't grow up as a fan of an SEC team and graduate from another...  O0

So which is it, SEC teams, OSU, NC Sate?!?!?!??!!  Pick a lane! ;)

Never, ever, ever Ohio St.

Primary is always NC State.
#2 is LSU - born and bred and have family that played there.
#3 is South Carolina, assuming they're not playing anyone that I really care about, but I don't often go out of my way to watch their games.  The point being that I'm not really anti-SEC, just anti-'Bama.

Well then, I know who to holler at for LSU-'Bama this year :)

I'm personally looking forward to Alabama losing a game or two this season.  Nothing better than the bitter tears of elephant fans except perhaps the tears of Yankee fans.  Ironically they seem to be the same fan base.

[MetalDog]

It's the winning that brings the tears.  We know what we are missing.  It's only the tears of Kansas and Minnesota fans that truly denote sorrow.  They never won anything.

[Bison]

Pfft.

Invisible linemen. I'm sure by next year there will be a rule against that!   :o

An interesting article comparing Sam Bradford to some dude named Jim Plunkett.

Bills and Jets have started with losses. AFC East, the division that keeps on giving!

[mirth]

Heh. Miami is playing Seattle and the Pats are at the Cards tonight. That entire division could be 0-1!

[Gusington]

Frickin' Jets...

[OJsDad]

YES!!  The Bengals won!!!!  WOOT!!!

Saints rookie kicker hooked a 61-yarder about 18" left as time expired.  He was pretty damned close to the win, given the circumstances...
