One of the best games ever! Kids these days have no idea lol.

Lawrence Taylor on defense was awesome too and one of the few that could hang with Okoye.

Wasn't Bo Jackson on that game too?

Speaking of Bo Jackson, the 30 for 30 about him is on espn classic. Dude would've been one of the best ever. Just like Hurd will be :)

Hurd was fidgeting with his helmet all game. Seems it didn't fit or strap on properly.

Screw that crap about being too tall to play RB. I think it would look pretty damn awesome to see him in the backfield with another 10-14 lbs of muscle and no loss of speed. If I'm an O-lineman seeing how he hits the hole and doesn't dance around, I'm thinking, "OH YEAH!"

Haha that's awesome. I used to receive the kickoff and run back to the 1yd line like that too. I remember my thumb used to get sore from running up and down like that all the time lol. Sometimes I had trouble keeping my thumb from starting to slide off the control from going up and down so much. Pretty sure I've still got the Ol nintendo and that game somewhere. May have to find that sucker and play a season for old times sake ha!

Hurd was impressive to watch today. He's a freak athlete. That size and speed combo is so rare. That being said, I think he should be given a shot at running back. But I think he winds up on defense as a linebacker or safety. Or maybe even DE if he keeps growing.

I know everyone is excited about him being our next great running back. So am I. But I think he is so far more mature than his competition, that he can dominate at whatever position he plays. I'm curios if he has enough lateral moves to avoid defenders in the SEC. I hope he proves me wrong though. He could be great.

Hurd is a straight beast. He will be fine as a RB at UT. He will be fine. Watching him run, he knows when to lower the shoulder and with his speed, not a problem.

Eric Dickerson 6'3 220lbs
Eddie George 6'3 240lbs
Brandon Jacobs 6'4 265lbs

Wait a minute. Marcus Allen could not have been 6'2", that would have made him to tall to be such an elite running back.

I worked my butt of shoveling snow and mowing lawns just to buy this game. It was almost two years old when I bought it. And it's still the most fun football game to play. I know the '91 roster better than now. Haha

For those who have asked, yes the game is on the ESPN app on Xbox 360, and on ESPNU tonight at 11:30 CST 12:30 EST, the game will be re-aired.

Hurd is an absolute beast and will probably dominate any position he lines up at. The only reason in the world we wouldn't use him at RB would be injuries.
