Treadwell caught that big gainer. The very next play he stood at the LOS and watched his running back break through the pack only to get tackled by the CB LT was supposed to block.

I have yanked kids out of games for that kind of effort. Total me-teamer. Shameful.

Jessie Palmer just said SEC teams don't do that.  They get recruited to play in their systems and not come out early even when they're up big.  Then he said, "When I was at Florida and we were up 60 in the 4th quarter, we never pulled our starters and I always stayed in."

Blah, blah, blah, SEC greatest ever in the history of the universe, blah, blah, blah.

He was saying when he was Freshman...he'd come off the bench behind the starter and he'd still get a chance to throw the ball. Spurrier believed he recruited guys for his system and when they got in the game, they should run his system, not get under center and run the ball and run the clock out.

TAMU could've put a back up in and still run their offense and that's what Palmer was saying.

I have no problem with continuing to run your offense until you get under 2 minutes. But you should put the backups in.

Minnesota is for realz, yo. I wouldn't be surprised to see them win the Legends division. I mean the North, no wait, is it the Leaders division? The West, yes it's the West.
